New Orleans Saints 2019 4th Round Pick Chauncey Gardner-Johnson flashes a lot of potential on tape. At the same time, he’s still a player the rest of the NFL didn’t feel deserved to be drafted in the first three rounds due to concerns the raw talent can’t translate to the NFL. He could wind up a defensive starter making Pro Bowl caliber plays both in the backfield and in the box, or he could wind up an early cut in camp who fails to make any NFL roster.

Chauncey Gardner-Johnson can be an all-or-nothing performer. Even still, the New Orleans Saints plan to use their fourth-round pick all over the field.

”Wherever they put me at, I said that my first day in here, I don’t really care,” the rookie told reporters. “I’ll go out there and play football. They can have me at safety and nickel the whole time, (or) if they want me at corner I’ll go play corner.”
