Justin Sampson brings disruptive, low-volume versatility off Akron’s edge
Justin Sampson is a physical Akron defender who has shown he can create backfield disruption and play with steady effort; in the 2018 season, Akron listed him with 12 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and a hurry across 12 games, and ESPN identifies him as a linebacker/edge defender. His best traits are toughness, versatility, and a proven ability to contribute in multiple phases rather than just piling up flashy stats. For a team looking for a reliable, hard-nosed depth piece with some burst and range, he looks like a fit.
