The NOLA Saints surprised people when they took Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The Saints weren’t armed with many draft picks and many were under the impression that if the Saints were going to take a quarterback, it’d have been earlier on.
Still, Book was chosen in the fourth round and while it’s always exciting to have a new quarterback on the roster, Saints fans shouldn’t get too excited about seeing Book on the gridiron this year, unless something goes awry.
