S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson Slot CB
CHAUNCEY GARDNER-JOHNSON
DB, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Saints DBs coach Aaron Glenn said S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson will spend "a good amount of time" covering the slot.
Gardner-Johnson notably permitted 16 catches for 158 yards and two touchdowns on 27 targets in coverage from the slot as a rookie. Even so, he has formidable experience there stemming from his 26 starts at Florida and profiles much better at that position than current nickel corner P.J. Williams. Gardner-Johnson at least offers the speed (4.48) and plus tackling to match above-average receiving threats from the middle of the field on a good day, especially if he continues developing in his second year.
