Lattimore, Taylor and Adebo? Tough call. Adebo played pretty well his rookie year.

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.
