2020 Outlook

It’s tough to pinpoint where exactly Joseph would fit on the roster for 2020, but it most likely will be in some sort of special teams role. However, he does have the ability to surpass A.J. Klein as the strong side linebacker, where Lorenzo Alexander played last season, although unlikely as McDermott would likely prefer the veteran on the field for experience. If he makes the team he will most likely be starting the season as Matt Milano‘s backup.

With the athletically gifted linebacker, special teams seems like a role that he would thrive in. His ability to use his speed on kickoffs to get down the field and make some important tackles should put him into consideration for a roster spot.

If Vosean Joseph winds up losing out on his spot, he will most likely be a good practice squad candidate for the Buffalo Bills.
