New Saints LB Darnell Sankey on 8th team in 3 years. 'If it's your dream, you've got to chase it'

Darnell Sankey's two-plus years spent pursuing his dream job are a testament to perseverance.

Sankey signed a practice squad deal with the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday (Sept. 19). After entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of Sacramento State in 2016, New Orleans represents his ninth stop and eighth team on his path toward a regular job on an NFL roster.

"Everything's about timing, it's about God's timing," Sankey said. "I was blessed to play with seven other different organizations, learn different systems, meet different coaches and players. It's all God's plan to me.
