Don’t let the recent viral highlights of Chris Olave and Michael Thomas fool you, New Orleans Saints corner Paulson Adebo is having a fantastic sophomore training camp. Adebo surprised many with his level of play when he was thrust into the spotlight during his rookie season, but it is quite obvious he was not at the level where the Saints would be content at the position. We talked all offseason about how the drafting of Alontae Taylor and retaining of Bradley Roby were done with the purpose of pushing Adebo for his starting job, and he has certainly stepped up to the plate.
Both individual and team drills have seen Adebo making a positive impression on media and fans, likely meaning the coaches have noticed as well. Adebo has been putting his physical coverage style to use in the one-on-one drills. He has had a great camp when lined up against veteran Jarvis Landry, staying close to the former LSU player often and even jumping in front of him for an interception thrown by Jameis Winston.
