Sunseri Question

Serious question on Vinnie Sunseri. Any word on how he's been in a Saints uniform so far in OTAs? Any way he actually sees the field this year at S in y'all's formations? Or is he special teams/bench only this year?
Curious to see how that project turns out over the next few years.

We are extremely deep at safety. He's going to be on special teams. Maybe step in late in some blowout games but that's about it this year.

I like his potential.
But he won't see the field because of our amazing safety depth.

At best he'll be the 4th safety this year, but that could still get him some snaps. If you're active on game day, Rob will get you involved.
What I'm hoping from him long term is for him to become a ST ace right away and then move into Bush's role after his 2 year contract is up (and we don't retain him, which I don't think we'll be able to by then).

Today at mini camp he was running with the First team, filling in for either Vaccaro or Bush. Looked decent.
But yes I agree, he won't see very much playing time this year unless on special teams.

He is a guy that will be a special teams guy, but I like that he is a very heady football player always by the ball.

Terrible thread title. Just ask your question in the title, man.

Almost every single pre draft report said this guy will be someone's ST captain eventually.
Will make it as a special teams nightmare for opposing teams.
I have been surprised at the large amount of bama fans here in the panhandle that are giddy the Saints picked this guy up. Something about this guy made the Saints pick a player higher than he was projected which is a rarity under CSP.

I think in a perfect world, he turns into the last safety on the roster, special teams ace and guy on the sidelines who helps make calls and watches defenses. (Kind of like the back-up QB on offense)
If I had to project his career, I would suspect that he plays in the league as that type of player for five or six years and then becomes a film room guy and then a coach.

Heard on WWL yesterday Keenan Lewis was asked about Sunseri, and Lewis was basically saying Vinnie is his guy. Always learning, paying attention, doing the right things. Said they gave him a defensive playbook and two days later, he'd learned it.
