JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars are gearing up for a playoff run, and they are going to need all hands on deck to get there.
Amongst those the Jaguars will need to lean on in Weeks 13 and beyond after their 7-4 start is veteran cornerback Greg Newsome, who has dealt with his fair share of highs and lows since joining the Jaguars after the Tyson Campbell trade in October.
After a week in which Newsome saw his role change over the course of the game in Week 12, though, the Jaguars are not letting their faith waver when it comes to the second-most experienced members of their secondary.
Campanile on Newsome
Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile has frequently been a public backer of Newsome since the Jaguars traded for him, lauding him for his instincts and football smarts and his fit in the team’s zone-based system. With Newsome seemingly facing some adversity in terms of playing time after he dealt with an injury, Campanile is still backing his corner.
