Two seasons ago, Demetrius McCray looked like a diamond in the rough. The former seventh round pick worked his way into being a starting cornerback, notching 12 strong starts (and performances) in his belt in 2014.
Just two years later and he’s among the first of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ cuts before the 2016 season. It’s not the way his career trajectory was likely envisioned in 2014.
But the Jaguars are much stronger for it. The secondary features players like Prince Amukamara, Jalen Ramsey, Davon House, and Aaron Colvin at cornerback now. The depth has grown and the fight for a roster spot has become much more competitive.
