Marcus Davenport is ESPN's pick for Saints 2019 breakout candidate

The New Orleans Saints are preparing for their 2019 season, and they have Super Bowl aspirations in mind. To get there, they’ll need second-year leaps from a number of talented players — none more than pass rusher Marcus Davenport. Last year’s top draft pick has been given every opportunity and put in every possible position to succeed, and now it’s time for him to put it all together on the field.

It’s why ESPN NFL Nation writer Mike Triplett tabbed Davenport as his top pick for a breakout candidate in 2019. Triplett noted that Davenport has a year of work behind him, and is far-removed from his surgically-repaired toe surgery.
