Five bench players who can win a starting job by the end of the year

1. Eddie Jackson

Jackson may be the most unlikely of the group, but he has the talent to win a starting safety job. Of course, first Jackson needs to overcome a broken leg. Still, he should be good to go by training camp and should be spending a lot of time learning the playbook.

Of Adrian Amos, Harold Jones-Quartey, Deiondre Hall, Deon Bush and DeAndre Houston-Carson, Jackson may have the most upside and athletic intuition.
