PFF names Adebo as NFC breakout candidate for 2022 (1 Viewer)

The Saints are beginning to stockpile/develop CBs like they traditionally have with pass rushers. The bittersweet side of that is a guy like Adebo may become the next Trey Hendrickson--a productive player you want to keep, but just can't b/c of the price he demands on the market.

Hard to overstate what a luxury it is to keep producing such great depth through the draft at both DB and DE--two of the most premium positions on an NFL defense. That doesn't happen by accident.
 
Canā€™t believe this is our life. We going to have The Greatest Show on Turf 2.0 but in our DB room šŸ˜‚
Yeah we are officially living in some sort of Bizarro World where the Saints have three NFL starting caliber Corners on the roster at the same time.

The future look bright right now because Lattimore just turned 26 years old and he's already been to 4 Pro Bowls. Adebo came in as a rookie and started from day one. He turns 23 in July. We could have one of the top Corners duos in the league for the foreseeable future.

That's a really good point honestly. As insane as it would be for the future, if Adebo plays to his ceiling, which by all means is a top-flight CB 2 -- it would be very unrealistic to manage to continue to pay both Lattimore and Adebo top flight CB money. Obviously a good problem to have, but that's why it's important to continue to stockpile and develop young talent at key positions like corner.
