After a very eventful offseason, many fans are curious where things are headed with their team’s roster. For the New Orleans Saints, while there are some questions left to answer and some training camp battles to watch, the roster is mostly filled out. A roster that Ben Linsey of Pro Football Focus ranked just outside the top-10 in the NFL ahead of training camp.
Linsey built his rankings by looking at projected starters, PFF’s grades from 2021, and also listed each roster’s strength, weakness, and X-factor. Coming in at No. 11, the team’s secondary is what brings the most confidence.
“Impact players at all three levels should make (New Orleans) one of the stingier defenses in the league again this season,” Linsey wrote. “Particularly against the run. The only team to allow fewer yards per run play than the Saints since 2019 is Tampa Bay.”
