The New Orleans Saints have not had a storied history at the cornerback position. Sure, they've had some good ones. Dave Waymer, Toi Cook, Tracy Porter, Jabari Greer and Keenan Lewis are a few that come to mind. As good as those players sometimes were, they will never be mistaken as anybody who belongs in the conversation with great defensive backs.
The Saints pass defense has hovered around the bottom of the league over four of the last five seasons. Much of the reason for this has been the performance of the teams cornerbacks.
