Prince Amukamara

2016 team: Jacksonville Jaguars

The Arizona Cardinals were thought to be in the running for his services last season. He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Cardinals will likely find this is another player they can’t afford but again, dreaming costs you nothing. He had 49 tackles with no interceptions, six passes defensed in 2016.

The draw of course, other than his talent, is he is from the Phoenix-area. He is a product of Apollo High School in Glendale, Arizona.

He would attract fans because of his connections locally. He would attract fans based on name and history, despite the numbers not being the greatest with the Jags last season.

In the three previous seasons prior to 2016, Amukamara had 35 passes defense, 14 in 2013 alone. His career interception total is just seven but you have to dig deeper to see that he is a guy that can help you win games.
