Jean (Don't Call Me Jean)-Baptiste Flashes Potential
All good things to hear. Big guy with quick feet. I like it.
Although the Saints' second-round draft pick will almost certainly require some time to develop at the NFL level, Jean-Baptiste is 2-for-2 when it comes to making impact plays during the organized team activities that have been open to the media so far. Two weeks ago, the big, 6-foot-3, 218-pounder forced a fumble by stripping the ball away from receiver Andy Tanner. But I was even more impressed last week by how Jean-Baptiste ran down the field with one of the fastest receivers on the roster, Charles Hawkins, to prevent Drew Brees from connecting on a deep ball. "He's done that numerous times during OTAs and rookie minicamp," Saints defensive backs coach Wesley McGriff said. "That's one thing that's impressive about Stan. You look at his size, and then you look at him defending the vertical ball and most smaller guys, you say, 'Wow, he can stay over the top?' Yes he can. http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2014/0609...00_200x300.jpg Raw or not, Saints rookie CB Stanley Jean-Baptiste flashes potential - ESPN |
Re: Jean (Don't Call Me Jean)-Baptiste Flashes Potential
Excited for this guy, during the draft alot of people were calling for us to draft him and I'd really not heard much about him up until that point
He'll take his knocks as a rookie but I think he could be a special player for us |
Re: Jean (Don't Call Me Jean)-Baptiste Flashes Potential
A lot of players struggle in their rookie years. Especially CBs. Patrick Peterson wasn't impressive at all in his rookie year (in coverage, I'm not talking about punt returns) and now is probably shutdown corner.
Have patience with this guy. |
Re: Jean (Don't Call Me Jean)-Baptiste Flashes Potential
And considering he only has 2 years experience as a corner; he started as a wide receiver at Nebraska. This kid has a ton of upside

Re: Jean (Don't Call Me Jean)-Baptiste Flashes Potential
McGriff called him Stan. So maybe how we pronounce Jean doesn't matter. :wink:

Re: Jean (Don't Call Me Jean)-Baptiste Flashes Potential
Man if he can hold up out there and our pass rush can pressure with only 4 or 5 then we've got a lot of DBS with WR hands. Byrd, Lewis, Baptise, Bailey..... Who Dat !!!!!!! Love Raphael Bush and Vaccarros agreesive styles. I'm pumped!!!!
