Projected Role: Competing for linebacker spot

His 2015: Stanford failed to make the Detroit Lions' roster after spending over a year with that organization. He had multiple stints on Tampa Bay's practice squad before landing on the Jets' practice squad near the end of the season. The Jets brought him back for training camp.

2016 will be a success if: Stanford shows some sort of ability to stick on an NFL roster. He faces long odds.

Even making the team will be an uphill battle
