The New Orleans Saints might have found themselves something in Alontae Taylor. The rookie draft pick out of Tennessee has looked the part, competing well against some of the NFL’s best receivers while carving out his niche in the New Orleans secondary.
“He’s playing outstanding,” said head coach Dennis Allen. Pro Football Focus credited Taylor with allowing just 3 receptions on 9 targets against the Falcons, with a season-high 4 incompletions forced and 3 pass breakups. One teammate who has been watching Taylor closely is Bradley Roby. The ninth-year pro has seen a lot of talented players come up during his 129-game career, and Taylor got on his radar quickly.
