METAIRIE, La. -- Forget about all the newcomers on the New Orleans Saints' defense. The two guys who could make the biggest impact this year are the two guys who were derailed by broken fibulas last year -- defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins and cornerback Delvin Breaux.
Rankins (the 12th overall pick in the 2016 draft) and Breaux (a breakout discovery from the Canadian Football League in 2015) have the talent to rank among New Orleans’ top three players on defense.
And now fully healthy, that’s what both of them intend to do.
