Just before the 2021 season began, the New Orleans Saints agreed on a trade with the Houston Texans to bring veteran cornerback Bradley Roby to New Orleans. Roby was seen as a player that could replace the departed Janoris Jenkins opposite star cornerback Marshon Lattimore. But there was one complication: a one-game suspension to start the year. In November of 2020, Roby was suspended due to violation of the NFL’s PED policy. There were only five games left in that season, leading to the lone suspension in 2021.
During that game, third-round rookie Paulson Adebo took off with a very strong debut against the reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. He piled on 3 combined tackles, a pass defensed and an interception. More specifically, a red zone interception after Rodgers marched the Packers offense down the field. After that, Adebo never relinquished the spot.
