He was one of the lone bright spots of an abysmal Jaguars season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyprien has been a productive safety since entering the league in 2013. In his rookie year, he recorded 104 tackles, six passes defensed, a pick, and two forced fumbles. In his second season, he yet again produced 100+ tackles, racking up 114 to go along with three passes defensed. 2015 was another productive year with Cyprien getting a pick, a forced fumble, two passes defensed, and yet again having over 100 tackles, collecting 108 total. Cyprien has performed very well with the Jaguars since getting drafted in 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Johnathan Cyprien has never been discussed as a top safety in the league, but he\u2019s always been productive and he really helped himself with a strong 2016 season. \u00a0He\u2019s still young and durable, as he\u2019s never played less than 14 games in a season for his career.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyprien was born and raised in North Miami Beach, Florida where he played his high school football. \u00a0Cyprien then played for the Florida International University Panthers football team from 2009-2012 where he was a two-time second-team All-Sun Belt Conference selection in 2010 and 2011, and a first-team All-Sun Belt selection in 2012. \u00a0Cyprien was drafted with the first pick of the second round, 33rd overall, in the 2013 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/625873294\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin: 0px; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; display: inline-block; position: absolute;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/625873294?et=ZIb1r_ndQNBxsX0QbihC_w&amp;viewMoreLink=on&amp;sig=LYwkG91yGDeujpPgcc6sIBpu1wKXIXAhkak7PQIpv30=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johnathan Cyprien has been a productive safety since entering the league in 2013.
