Payton Turner plays run first, then rushes the passer. He sees the center peeling back to block & executes a club/swim to beat the over setting blocker & get the sack! #passrush #saints pic.twitter.com/2C8rU3CZXG

This is what you love to see. Payton Turner’s pro career hasn’t started out as well as hoped, but he delivered on those expectations in Sunday’s rout of the Las Vegas Raiders. The second-year New Orleans Saints defensive end played the best football we’ve seen out of him in Week 8’s game — he notched 5 quarterback pressures at Pro Football Focus, including 2 sacks. He was also credited with 3 defensive stops, which are typically defined as plays in which the offense gains 50% or fewer yards necessary for a conversion.
