2019 New Orleans Saints draft prospects: Gerald Willis III

The New Orleans Saints defensive tackles were instrumental in the success that their defense had a year ago. The team finished second against the run, and allowed just 3.6 yards per carry to opposing backs. New Orleans defensive tackles were also responsible for 15.5 sacks, and a number of disruptions to opposing offenses during the year. Sheldon Rankins played at an All-Pro level much of the year, while David Onyemata developed into a solid interior presence. Tyeler Davison and Taylor Stallworth combined to give the Saints one of the deepest defensive tackle rotations in the league.
