On the final day of the 2019 NFL draft, former Rutgers safety Saquan Hampton was selected by the New Orleans Saints with the 177th overall pick. He was the first RU player selected this year after two were chosen last year (Kemoko Turay and Sebastian Joseph).
Saquan arrived on the banks as a three-star safety out of Hamilton North. He started parts of four seasons, but didn’t realize his full potential until his 5th year as a redshirt senior in 2018. He was a one man wrecking crew late in the season after something must have clicked, or perhaps he was finally healthy for the first time.
