Fansided: 5 Saints Who Will Challenge Keenan Lewis for the #2 CB Spot

As the New Orleans Saints head towards OTA’s starting this Tuesday, we likely we see the beginnings of what promises to be a fierce battle to be the Saints #2 outside boundary cornerback opposite of the team’s “lockdown” #1 outside boundary CB, Delvin Breaux.

At the moment, it’s presumed that the #2 CB spot is veteran Keenan Lewis’ to lose.

By all accounts, Lewis is on schedule and possibly ahead of schedule with the rehab of his left knee, the same knee that he tore the MCL (medial collateral ligament) against the Washington Redskins in Week #10 that ended his 2015 season.

But that’s not a given at this point, when one considers that Lewis has actually undergone a total of 3 surgeries in less than one full calendar year (yes, THREE).

That means that these next few months of competition in OTA’s and Training Camp will ultimately determine whether or not Lewis — who recently turned 30 — is up to the task of re-claiming his spot.

That will leave the door open for several players to vie for that spot, and it’s with that in mind that this evening, we’re taking a quick look at a few of the young men who will presumably will have the BEST CHANCE at challenging Lewis for that #2 CB spot over the course of the next several months — including what the percentage of chances are of each one them beating him out.

Starting with this young man…..

Hopefully optimistic...

JP you wild! Rankins was probably studying, preparing, working on his rip move :p. Seriously speaking, I'm not sure how they came about selecting rookies for the photo but at first glance, there were a lot of offensive players in this shoot.
