The New Orleans Saints have struck gold with undrafted rookies several times over the last two decades.
They ve found an undrafted rookie contributor at defensive tackle in each of the last three seasons.
Taylor Stallworth played in 16 games as an undrafted rookie in 2018, recording a sack, 2 QB pressures, 2 tackles for loss, and recovered a fumble.
Shy Tuttle had a terrific rookie campaign after going undrafted in 2019.
Tuttle appeared in every game as a rookie and had an interception, 2 sacks, 6 pressures, and 3 tackles for loss.
Tuttle is the favorite to win a starting role at defensive tackle opposite emerging star David Onyemata for the Saints in 2021.

When the Lions had a 5-10 record late in the 2020 season, there was one particular play by linebacker Jahlani Tavai that told me everything I needed to know.
Minnesota star receiver Justin Jefferson was on his way to picking up 38 yards off a reception, and Tavai chased him down from behind like it was the game-saving tackle in the Super Bowl.
He made a similar touchdown-saving tackle against Carolina a few weeks prior, when the speedy Curtis Samuel was on his way to the end zone. Detroit was 4-5 at the time, yet there was Tavai racing to make the stop.
