The New Orleans Saints drafted Tennessee cornerback Alontae Taylor in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Immediately, he is expected to compete with 2021 third-round pick Paulson Adebo for the Saints starting cornerback role.
Alontae Taylor should have an immediate impact on the Saints roster even if he does not win that starting corner spot. He projects to be an elite special teamer who should be able to contribute his rookie season one way or another.
Taylor's story is a remarkable one, he's endeared himself quite a bit already. But one specific element of his early football career shows why Dennis Allen, Kris Richard, and others on the Saints coaching staff have confidence in hist ability to develop quickly.
The Saints can keep their momentum from the NFL Draft rolling by signing Jarvis Landry and Sony Michel, after both had free agency visits with the team. The could also use a lucky roll of the dice when it come to the NFL Schedule Release to land some rest around their big trip to London.
