New Orleans Saints CB Marshon Lattimore has been selected as the Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, the first time that a Saint has won the award.
Lattimore, the 11th overall pick by the Saints out of Ohio State, enjoyed a standout season as he is the only the fourth cornerback in franchise history to be selected to the Pro Bowl and the first since Eric Allen in 1995 and joined fellow rookie, RB Alvin Kamara as one of only seven Saints rookie selected. The Cleveland, Ohio native started all 13 games he played in and posted 53 tackles (44 solo), a club-best five interception returns for 85 yards with one returned for a touchdown, a team-high 18 passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Lattimore’s five picks were ranked first among NFL rookies and tied for fifth in the league overall.

Saints running back Alvin Kamara edged Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt as the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year.
The award was announced during Saturday’s NFL Honors program in Minneapolis.
Kamara, a third-round pick from Tennessee (67th overall), ran for 728 yards and caught 81 passes for 826 yards for 1,554 yards from scrimmage. That total was second among rookies behind Hunt, who led the NFL with 1,327 rushing yards. Kamara’s 14 total touchdowns — eight rushing, five receiving, one kick return — led all rookies.

This seems like an eternal question for the Saints.
I jumped on the Derek Barnett train last draft. That plan flew out the window when Marshon Lattimore fell in the Saints’ lap.
The Saints rolled with Alex Okafor on a one-year deal. Now Okafor’s injury complicates the situation. He looked well on his way to garnering another contract by being a nice complement to Cam Jordan on the other edge after inking a one-year deal last offseason. Then he ripped up his Achilles tendon in the Washington win.
You’d think Okafor could return for the start of the 2018 season.
The Saints found some lightning with George Johnson. Trey Hendrickson isn’t going anywhere.
Come on Who Dat Nation ! I know we can give also to help out Morstead’s charity !
Thomas Morstead, the Saints punter who tore cartilage in his ribs during the first half of
Sunday’s NFC Championship game, may be making a return trip to Minnesota during Super Bowl
weekend. This time, however, he will be welcomed with open arms.
Not only did he finish the game despite his injury, after the play that many are dubbing the
“Minneapolis Miracle,” Morstead was the first Saint out on the field for the inconsequential
extra-point play. That courageous display of grit and respect resonated with many Vikings fans.
Who Dat Nation come out and support our own
