WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — The man who protects Drew Brees’ blind side is far from a household name.
Outside of New Orleans, Terron Armstead remains a little under the radar, only a few months removed from speculation that the Saints might kick him inside to guard to make room for Andrus Peat at the most prestigious position on the offensive line.
A move like that was never in the works. The Saints quietly believe Armstead is on the verge of becoming a Pro Bowl-caliber player.
“I am not going to use the word underrated, but man, I am telling you what, he has really done a lot of the things we look for and hope for when we drafted him in the third round,” coach Sean Payton said.
