The New Orleans Saints finished the 2020 regular season with a win, and the year’s Pro Football Focus grades are in to help identify the standouts (for good and for bad). I’ve put together their list of five highest- and lowest-rated players on both sides of the football, requiring at least 33% of snaps (354 on offense, 342 on defense) to qualify. This gives us an idea of who was on the field most often, though it’s worth noting wide receiver Michael Thomas barely missed out with an 85.2 overall grade on 345 total snaps.
