Darrion Gray · Jun 13, 2026
Gray predicts Quincy Riley will lead the Saints in interceptions, possibly with four; he also expects Cade Nellis to finish second on the team in sacks behind Chase Young, Jordan Tyson to play 15 games and lead the team in receiving touchdowns, Danny Stutzman to take Pete Werner's starting job, Riley to become a starting cornerback, and Christian Miller to become a highly impactful rotation piece. He also forecasts roughly a 300-yard, three-touchdown season for Noah Fant.
