No cornerback on the New Orleans Saints roster has made more plays consistently throughout the first eight training camp practices this year than Ken Crawley.
In many ways, it feels like deja vu because Crawley was a standout performer in training camp last year, too, when he made the 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie out of Colorado.
However, as impressive as Crawley was last summer, his strong play didn't completely transfer to the field during the regular season. He was so close to making the game-changing plays he'd been making in practice, but in the NFL, a cornerback making a mistake by an inch can result in a huge play for the opponent.
