Dijon Johnson: C (114 snaps)
As a pure coverage corner, Dijon Johnson has been quietly reliable in coverage this season.
He still could offer more in run support, but he has only given up two receptions in 40 pass coverage snaps.
Trikweze Bridges: C+ (116 snaps)
One of the common themes for Florida on defense this year has been the unwillingness of their safeties to come downhill to make a play on the ball. They have been perfectly content back pedaling 20 yards off the line of scrimmage while passes are thrown 10 yards in front of them.
Trikweze Bridges seems to be the only safety who is willing to come downhill and even try to tackle people. He has four missed tackles and a missed tackle rate of 16.7%, but at least he is trying.
Kamran James: C- (117 snaps)
With five QB hurries on the season, Kamran James is tied for the lead for the most hurries on the team.
But he also has zero sacks and zero hits on the QB, so even when he does win his one on one he isn't getting home. Also by comparison, Sapp has nine "stops" on the season while James has just three.
