Let’s look back at the Saints 2019 rookie class.

What a monster class of draftees and UDFAs.

Erik McCoy - Started 16 games at center, gave up one sack and had 8 penalties.
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson - Started 7 games and is a player. Always around the ball and throwing himself into the play. He had an interception, recovered fumble and 49 total tackles.
Saquan Hampton - 6th round pick that was depth at safety and contributed on special teams before an unclosed injury. Good contribution for a 6th round pick.
Alize Mack - Oft injured in the preseason and didn’t make the team.
Kaden Elliss - 244th overall pick who played great in the preaseason at LBer. He made the roster and played in three games before getting injured. Promising prospect.
Ethan Greenidge - Made the 53 man roster, but was mostly a scout team member.
Lil’Jordan Humphrey - Guy who was too slow according to Saints talk. Started on the practice squad, but ended up playing in 5 games because of injuries to WRs.
Emmanuel Butler - Preseason darling who showed some flashes of talent, but ended up on the practice squad.
Carl Granderson - Started the season in jail, but played in 8 games. Had 1 sack and 11 total tackles. Showed some flashes and was a really good depth player.
Deonte Harris - PR/KR/WR who made the pro bowl and was All-Pro. Had 6 receptions for 24 yards and 4 carries for 31 yards. Had 24 KR for 644 Yards and had 36 PRs for 338 yards and 1 TD. Video of TD return against Seattle
Shy Tuttle - Wow, what a find. Was active for all 16 games. Had 18 tackles and two sacks. And who can forget the Interception on Thanksgiving Night!



Who can’t like Shy Tuttle and what he brings to the table. McCoy and CGJ look to be mainstays. I hope CGJ gets some more playing time with Vonn Bell gone. Elliss Showed real promise. He just needs to stay healthy, but should have opportunity since LBer is thin. It’ll be very interesting to see if Humphrey or Butler can step up and make the team as both have some talent.
