Saints hoping Chauncey Gardner-Johnson answers nickel cornerback question

One of the major questions for the New Orleans Saints heading into the 2020 season appears to be answered — at least in theory. According to Nick Underhill, last week, Saints defensive back coach Aaron Glenn said that sophomore cornerback Chauncey Gardner-Johnson will be spending a lot of time in the slot as a nickel cornerback for New Orleans in 2020.

That should come as welcome news for Saints fans. It’s not surprising to see Gardner-Johnson earn more reps next season. He got significantly better as last season progressed, both on defense and special teams.
