CARSON, Calif. -- In 17 snaps during Sunday's preseason game, the football never came in the direction of New Orleans Saints first-round pick Marshon Lattimore.
For the Saints, that could be a good sign as Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback Kellen Clemens chose not to test the rookie cornerback, but Lattimore doesn't want to be the guy opposing teams avoid.
"I want to make some plays on the ball," Lattimore said. "I want teams to test me, so they can see I'm the real deal."
Lattimore saw limited action in his first preseason appearance after missing the exhibition opener, but the Saints chose to have him start, which provided a something of confidence boost.
