Biggest DE contributors for 2017 New Orleans Saints

A defensive ends sole purpose in the National Football League is to create pressure and chaos against opposing quarterbacks. And that’s an important lesson for the New Orleans Saints. Defensive ends are game changers, especially if you happened to find the right one. There were several edge rushers last season that harassed opposing quarterbacks. A few examples include Minnesota Vikings Danielle Hunter and Seattle Seahawks Cliff Avril.

In today’s time, Defense wins championships and having a great defensive end or two certainly helps. As everyone knows by now, the Saints last season went 30th in the National Football League, generating only 27 sack.
