"Only been penalized twice on 3,027 career defensive snap"

That tells me he plays with discipline.

I'm not a fan of Dennis as HC, but he skins on the wall when it comes to producing talent in the secondary.

Good luck @ camp Jordan :bng: .

So is he better than the safety from Bama drafted in the second round ?

Re: Saints Pick 5.11 - S Jordan Howden
 

I hope so. Roman Harper was average-to-good as a Safety for the Saints.
Brian Branch might be a good 2nd round Alabama Safety too. We'll see.

PJ Fleck is one of the most demanding and energetic coaches in college football. If Jordan was a team captain with the Gophers, there's no questioning his drive and work ethic.

Aren't those three boundary corners who have little to no slot coverage experience? I recently read an article describing the slot attributes and I'm not sure which one has the tightest hips and skills necessary to excel in the slot. It's a different animal. Roby did well enough playing in the slot, but Jordan Howard looks like he completely fills the Saints slot corner vision of replacing Gardner Johnson.

He is a little undersized, but he's a solid tackler who doesn't commit many penalties and has extensive experience playing in the slot. Don't be surprised to see his snaps increase as he gets comfortable in the system.

Smoke came in with a lot of swagger last year and his name is cool. I'm rooting for him.:bng:

edit: That statement is silly. I'm rooting for all these guys. I guess that I'm just rooting for Smoke-more.?
