It’s one area the Saints media , and fans alike, have been discussing since the end of the 2018 Season. Depth and perhaps a starting shot in the safeties position group. University of Florida junior safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson may be just the boost they[re looking for.
The last time the Saints dipped a hand into the Swamp in Gainesville to acquire new talent was in 2017 when they took linebacker Alex Anzalone with the 76th selection in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Garner-Johnson could be next in line.
The most recent role played by the junior out of Cocoa, Florida, in 2018, was as nickel back under first-year defensive coordinator Todd Grantham.
