Josh Harvey-Clemons vs. Shaun Dion Hamilton vs. Cole Holcomb

This article originally had Mason Foster as a part of this competition, but he was released earlier in the week.  All three of these players are locks to make the roster, but the fight for a starting role is very much in play.  Josh Harvey-Clemons has bulked up to 245 lbs. on his 6-foot-4 frame and looks to have a greater impact this season.  Shaun Dion Hamilton was thought to be an early-round prospect in the 2018 NFL Draft, but an injury in his final season for Alabama dropped his stock.  He will try to build on a solid second half of the 2018 season.  Cole Holcomb is a rookie with blazing speed and his first year role could be on special teams.
