Saints rookie DT Taylor Stallworth making the most of his chance

There came a time when the New Orleans Saints realized they might have something in undrafted rookie free agent Taylor Stallworth.

And then the next day came, and he was better. And so on, and so on.

"He was a guy that we identified fairly early in camp as a potential (candidate) to make our football team," said defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. "Every day, when you would watch him, you just saw him getting just a little bit better and better every day."

That ability and consistent improvement earned Stallworth a spot on the 53-man roster, and then it carried him onto the active roster where he has played some significant snaps the last three weeks as Tyeler Davison was nursing a foot injury.
