Pro Football Focus has been rolling out a number of rankings for different position groups, and the latest rankings for NFL secondaries place the Saints at number eight overall. Saints fans have to be stoked about the incredible improvement in the Saints’ secondary play last season.
They finished third behind only the Ravens (22) and Jaguars (21) with 20 interceptions and for the first time in years functioned as a strength rather than a liability for the team.
The Pro Bowl level play of two rookies, Marshon Lattimore and Marcus Williams, stabilized a position group that had previously served as Saints fans’ greatest source of anxiety over the majority of the past decade.
