Few teams value college all-star games like the New Orleans Saints. They’ve added at least two rookies from the Senior Bowl each year, dating back to 2015, often double-dipping with draft picks like in 2015, 2018, and 2020. Five of their recent first-round picks have participated in the showcase game on Mobile, Ala. — including Stephone Anthony, Sheldon Rankins, Marcus Davenport, Payton Turner, and Trevor Penning.
So keep an eye out for standout performers during Senior Bowl week. The Saints certainly will be, with passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry tabbed as an offensive coordinator for the event. Here are all of the players they’ve found at the all-star game since Jeff Ireland was hired to take over their college scouting department:
