It’s no secret — the New Orleans Saints struggled tremendously at stopping the run a season ago. Much of that falls on the nose tackle position, an area of weakness and inconsistency between Brodrick Bunkley and John Jenkins. There is much to be improved, and second-year man Lawrence Virgil looks to play a role in the turnaround. Today, we take a peek at Virgil as part of our ‘Sophomore Spotlight’ series.
Like fellow 2014 undrafted free agent wide receiver Seantavius Jones, Lawrence Virgil is a product of the small Gulf South school known as Valdosta State, a college where the defensive tackle was quite productive once making the transition from tight end.
