The New Orleans Saints linebacker unit may produce some fireworks during training camp as rookies and veterans battle it out for roster spots.
Along with cornerback and wide receiver, linebacker remains a shaky position group for the Saints. They made some smart moves during the 2021 NFL Draft by picking up Pete Werner in the second round, but he’s still young, and the Saints’ depth behind Demario Davis is…not so good.
Here are the Saints’ options for linebackers in 2021:
- Demario Davis
- Zack Baun
- Pete Werner
- Quentin Poling
- Sutton Smith
- Chase Hansen
- Kaden Elliss
- Andrew Dowell
- Wynton McManis
- Marcus Willoughby
- Shaq Smith
