The former Ute snagged three interceptions back in his rookie campaign in 2022.
Then, he had a dry streak in 2023 with no interceptions or forced fumbles. He did have two fumble recoveries but didn’t force any turnovers in 15 games played.
He broke that streak early this year by forcing a fumble against the Browns in week two.

The Jaguars offense made the most of the turnover by turning it into six on the other end.
Mac Jones found Parker Washington in the back of the end zone for a highlight touchdown to give Jacksonville a 10-3 lead.
