Since being drafted with the 14th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft (as well as costing an additional first rounder that was traded to the Packers) Marcus Davenport has had every eye glued on him. The cost to draft him has many expecting, no, requiring, he been an instant success. His first round draft status even has many expecting Davenport to be the immediate starter opposite Cameron Jordan. The Saints have taken a slower approach.
This week against the Los Angeles Chargers marked the first time we had seen Davenport during the preseason as Sean Payton announced the weekend prior he was expected to practice during the week and see time during the game.
