During the 2021 season, the Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t give fans a lot to smile about as the Urban Meyer era went terribly. It was so bad to the point that the first-year head coach was fired before the season could end in December as the team didn’t look much better than the group from 2020 that won only one game.
To make matters worse, the 2021 rookie class was mismanaged, and even Trevor Lawrence, who started in every game, had an uneventful rookie campaign. Of course, some of that was due to the struggles that come with the game for a rookie quarterback, but he also wasn’t given a lot to work with.
However, there was one rookie from the class who flashed a bit more than Lawrence — and that was second-round cornerback Tyson Campbell. The young rookie from the University of Georgia was thrust into a starting role after the Jags traded C.J. Henderson to Carolina before the trade deadline, and he ultimately registered 14 starts in the process.
