An original Saints draftee returns home to bring knowledge, maturity, and leadership.
The Saints experienced an amazing 2011 season characterized by a balanced running and passing offense coupled with an aggressive and opportunistic defense. Then, all hell broke loose for the Saints organization from top to bottom as the ripple effects from the Bountygate suspensions and loss of draft picks extended far beyond one dismal season a year later. After losing two consecutive second round draft picks and several coaches for some if not all the 2012 season, the Saints defense posted one of the worst performances in NFL history while finishing last in the league in almost every statistical category.
