Saints land more players than any other team in PFF's preseason top 50

I was surprised to see Marcus Williams at #48. Apparently he's really, really good at football. The Saints put the franchise tag on him and now PFF is trying to tell me he's the 48th best player in the NFL. I got PFF and the Saints telling me one thing and people on this board telling me something else. I don't know what to think about the guy.

Williams has four straight seasons of solid PFF grades, and two of those years were outstanding seasons with a mark of 88.2 or better. He is a complete safety who can defend the run as well as make an impact in coverage.

The fact that he could bounce back from being posterized by Stefon Diggs for the Minneapolis Miracle early in his career also shows the kind of mental strength he has, which can only be applauded. There are certainly safeties out there with bigger reputations, but there are few with better consistent play.
