Didn't seem very productive last year.

Dry him out in New Orleans? He's definitely got the physical talent...

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

We look pretty much set in the secondary.

CB: Lattimore, Breaux, Williams, Moore, Crawley
FS: Williams, Bush
SS: Vacarro, Bell, Harris

Vacarro, Bell and Harris all have the ability to play that nickel CB/Sam LB hybrid position so I wouldn't worry too much about how those CB's are more boundary-type players (with the exception of Moore.)

Chris, I'm not sold that Harris is making this roster just yet; he's gonna have to beat out Shiloh Keo who's a special team ace...

Now, he's definitely got the goods, but health, max effort, and no bad luck are gonna play into it...

And I wouldn't count out De'Vante Harris just yet...

Yeah, now that I think about it you're right about Keo. He would have the edge with Harris still recovering from the ACL tear.

For a split second I forgot about Damian Swann.

Don't be surprised if DA gives him a strong look at free safety before moving on from him...

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Supposedly Ellerbe was used to rush the QB more often last year. Look for 00 - Alex Anzalone (R3, P76) to be our new "rush LB".

I'm getting excited at this prospect...

Ellerbe was great in that role. Looked like a legit pass rusher.
Could be good mentor to our young LBs.
