Last year, one of the most curious cases for the New Orleans Saints was cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste. The Saints used their second round selection (58th overall) on the Nebraska Cornhuskers project, and fans were excited at what he could potentially bring to the table. The comparisons were there as the next big thing. He was called Richard Sherman, Part II. Sean Payton clearly stated that he was their highest-rated prospect.
Jean-Baptiste didn’t have a lack of work to start, as he was on the field during the preseason. In fact, he actually was fourth highest on the team’s defense with 166 snaps.
