Nearly every member of the New Orleans Saints’ draft class who made it to the regular season has gotten a chance to shine this season.
Tyeler Davison’s chance arrived Sunday.
With starting nose tackle John Jenkins sidelined because of a concussion, Davison started in the middle against Carolina, played a season-high 66 snaps, made two tackles and pushed the pocket against the Panthers.
“Played pretty strong, progressing the way we need him to,” defensive end Cameron Jordan said. “He’s got a lot of talent. He’s got a nose for the ball. Of course we’ll be happy when John Jenkins comes back, but Tyeler did his thing.
