Cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore and Eli Apple Womens Tyeler Davison 2019 Jersey , both top-12 draft choices, are 23 years old and possess less than four years of NFL experience. Safeties Marcus Williams and Vonn Bell, both second round draft picks, are 22 and 24 years old respectively, and also have less than four years in the NFL. Reserve cornerbacks Justin Hardee, P.J. Williams, and Ken Crawley are all under 26, and also less than four years of playing experience, leaving Patrick Robinson (31) and Chris Banjo (29) as the elder statesmen of the unit. The Saints added more youth on the back end in this year's draft, adding safeties Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Saquan Hampton in the fourth and sixth rounds. Another player trying to latch on to a roster spot among these talented players is the subject of today's undrafted player profile. Jordan Wyatt, CB (S.M.U.)5'11195Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty ImagesWyatt would attend Southern Methodist University after being a three sport star --football White P.J. Williams Jersey , basketball, and track-- at East High School in Texas. He would redshirt the 2014 season, but would be a starter over the next four years. His first season of action saw him grab 2 interceptions and forcing a fumble while netting 31 tackles. Wyatt would star in his second season with the Mustangs, racking up 50 tackles, including 3 for loss, also forcing 4 fumbles and intercepting 4 passes, returning two for scores. His ballhawking continued in 2017, as he again intercepted 4 passes and returned two for touchdowns, as well as returning a fumble recovery for a score and adding 4.5 tackles for loss among his 49 stops. Wyatt was hampered in 2018 by an ACL injury suffered near the end of the '17 season, along with hamstring issues throughout the year, and was limited to just one interception and 16 tackles in eight games. He would finish his S.M.U. career by being the school's record holder with five defensive touchdowns and 209 return yards on 11 interceptions. Wyatt did not participate in the NFL Scouting Combine P.J. Williams Jersey 2019 , but showed he was fully recovered from his injuries by running a 4.59 40-yd. dash and 4.13 20-yd. shuttle at his pro day. James Guillory-USA TODAY SportsJordan Wyatt has decent height for a cornerback, coupled with good speed and leaping ability. He mirrors receivers well in man coverage, and possesses the athleticism to stay stride for stride with any wideout. Wyatt finds the ball quickly while in the air, and has excellent anticipation and ball reaction skills. He is a combative defender, who will fight for every ball. He plants and drives well on plays in front of him, and has the playmaking skills to create turnovers. Wyatt plays physically, but has a slender build that could cause a match up problem against bigger receivers, and must get also stronger in run support. He is a bit tight hipped in his reaction to a receiver's breaks, and his gambling style leaves him vulnerable at times to double moves. Thomas B. Shea-USA TODAY SportsThe Saints have dipped into the S.M.U. pipeline with some success in recent history. One of the best punters in the league and arguably team history Thomas Morstead is a former Mustang. Other current Saints with S.M.U. ties include safety Banjo, fullback Zach Line, and long snapper Zach Wood New Orleans Saints Tommylee Lewis Jersey , alongwith former Saints Josh LeRibeusand Sterling Moore. Jordan Wyatt will have an uphill battle to make the New Orleans roster in a secondary full of highly regarded players. His best fit initially could be as a slot corner though, an area that the Saints defense has struggled in recent seasons. He has outstanding speed and has a combative style of play. Lattimore, Apple, and Robinson are former high draft picks whose roster spots are secure at cornerback. Crawley and Hardee are each former undrafted players who have both had a degree of success with New Orleans at the position though, and are the very players that Wyatt must now outplay for a roster position. He may have a shot to do just that, if he displays the playmaking ability he showed in college, one of the few things missing as a whole from a talented Saints defensive backfield. To those of us who follow the team, that’s not a surprise."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections InterviewsNew Orleans Saints SatireWho Dat HistoryCanal Street Chronicles TutorialSaints the most-injured team the last four seasonsNew,10commentsTo those of us who follow the team, that’s not a surprise.CSTShareTweetShareShareSaints the most-injured team the last four seasonsChuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsNumbers and statistics are fun. Compiling numbers can be fun. And that’s what the good people at SportsFacts.org do. The good folks over at SportsFacts went through and compiled data on the injuries each NFL team the last four seasons.To the surprise of no Saints fans, the Saints had the most players placed on injured reserve the last four years combined:All in all Womens Tommylee Lewis 2019 Jersey , the Saints had 88 players placed on injured reserve the past four seasons - 11 in 2018, 27 in 2017, 31 in 2016, and 19 and 2015. The Saints actually made the playoffs in both 2018 and 2017, which should be especially an accomplishment considering these injury totals.The next two most injured teams were the Washington football team with 85 and the New York Jets with 82, but there was just one playoff season (Washington in 2015) between both teams over all four years.Obviously there are a few flaws with this methodology: it doesn’t differentiate those players placed on IR for the rest of the season versus those who eventually return. It also doesn’t account for when injuries happen. That is, one injury in Week 1 could be a bigger hurdle than two injuries in Week 16. It also doesn’t account for the caliber of player being placed on injured reserve nor the team’s record at the time of the injury. There might flaws with the way the data is presented, but it doesn’t change the fact the Saints have had a lot of injuriesrecently.While the Saints haven’t had it easy due to the number of injuries they’ve sustained, their division hasn’t made things any easier. The Atlanta Falcons were the second least-injured team (44), and both the Carolina Panthers (57) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (65) were just in the middle of the pack.
