Safety Jarrod Wilson
While the Jags didn’t put a lot of high draft capital into the safety position, the additions of Daniel Thomas in the fifth-round and J.R. Reed in undrafted free agency are underrated additions. Both could pose a threat to Jarrod Wilson’s job, too.
With pick 157 in the 2020 NFL Draft, the #Jaguars selected Daniel Thomas, FS, Auburn.
He posted a great #RAS with okay size, good speed, great explosiveness, good agility at the FS position.https://t.co/a6xEltK3br#DUUUVAL pic.twitter.com/wVQOhpMGJr

Thomas recorded a relative athletic score (RAS) of 8.43 during his offseason workouts (Combine and Pro Day) at 5-foot-10, 210 pounds. As stated above by Kent Lee Platte, he looks to be quite an athlete and could entice the Jags to make a change at safety as Wilson isn’t a bad player, but is one who simply doesn’t make impact plays.
Reed, on the other hand, was a very good player and leader for an elite Georgia Bulldogs defense. He won’t necessarily wow fans with his athleticism but he’s always where he needs to be and plays smart. If he showcases these traits in the summer, he’ll catch the staff’s eyes in the same way undrafted cornerback Tre Herndon has over time.
