[edit] Professional career
Sensabaugh immediately stood out on the Jaguar team; one of few rookies who started every game his first season. He was a star amongst the special teams, and in the playoffs of his rookie year, he got a chance to start for the remainder of the season at strong safety after Pro Bowler Donovin Darius got hurt. In the 2006 season, he continued to shine on all special teams, and then halfway through the season, he yet again received a starting spot when Darius incurred a season ending knee injury.
The Jaguars extended a second-round tender to Sensabaugh a restricted free agent. Sensabaugh signed his one-year tender that was extended to him. He is penciled in as the team's starting strong safety.[1]
