Sean Payton expressed his confidence in New Orleans Saints wide receiving corps for 2021. It begs the question, why are there so many skeptics about this up-and-coming unit?
Who is No. 2? Who will step up? Do the Saints need another veteran to come in this season? Can they threaten defenses? Who s the fastest? Does the coaching staff trust the unit?
The list of questions has surrounded the New Orleans Saints receiving corps for a few years.
It appears to be a deep drop-off in talent after Michael Thomas and his status as the 2019 AP OPOY, 2x All-Pro, and single-season receptions record status.

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.
