Hype is gone, but Saints' Kenny Vaccaro, Jairus Byrd still possess talent to be one of NFL’s top safety duos

Byrd looks great when he's in. IF he can stay health, he's a premier ballhawk and a tough hitter. KV will have to earn a starting position. We've got a couple safeties that I like better than KV.

It depends on which KV shows up. The rookie sensation? Or the bad angles and tackling.......reminiscent of Jenkins.

Don't forget that most of the Vaccaro hype in 2013 was because his name wasn't Roman Harper or Malcolm Jenkins.

He graded badly in numerous games and while his 2014 plummet was a bit surprising, it wasn't a shock.

Several people warned us he wasn't that good, but I just chalked it up to UT haters.
