Heading into the 2021 preseason, the New Orleans Saints have a lot of ongoing position battles. Cynics might call them “roster holes,” but we deal in optimism here. There is a lot of young talent on the Saints’ roster, but it’s going to need time to fill out. The Saints’ first preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens gave us an idea of where players stand, but there’s a lot of preseason left.
The major position battles ongoing are at quarterback, wide receiver, defensive tackle, linebacker and cornerback. Some players fared well, others not so much.
