James Sample NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Jaguars' 4th-Round Pick

STRENGTHS
A physical intimidator at safety, James Sample will turn heads when he locks onto a defender and blows up a play. He plays in the box and can be an extra linebacker in run support. Sample is a gamer with closing speed and agility when attacking the ball. His burst and ability to home in on the ball in the run game are very good. His range, toughness and ability to make plays in the open field make Sample a rarity in this class. He also brings considerable upside given his lack of time in an FCS program.
