Former Kentucky safety Winston Guy could possibly start at free safety for the Jacksonville Jaguars this season. According to a report on ESPN.com, Guy is the favorite to be the starting strong safety heading into training camp.
With Josh Evans not participating in organized team activities (OTAs) or this week’s mandatory minicamp after undergoing surgery to remove a bone spur, Winston Guy has taken advantage of the extra reps and will go into camp as the favorite to be the starter next to strong safety Johnathan Cyprien.
It’s a new role for Guy, who played in just three games as a rookie for Seattle in 2012 and rotated with Evans for much of the second half of the 2013 season after the Jaguars claimed him off waivers on Sept. 1.
“Going into my third season I’m more comfortable with a lot of things,” said Guy, who played in 14 games (two starts) and made 24 tackles last season. “I’ve been in the same defense. I just feel like now it’s my time to be able to show what I’ve got. Gus [Bradley] has given me the opportunity to be able to play and I’ve just been taking full advantage of it and just going out there every day just to get better.”
