New Orleans Saints rookie linebacker Danny Stutsman has certainly been making the most of his opportunities as of late. In a limited capacity, the former Oklahoma Sooner has created the potential of earning a starting role later this season.
On Sunday against the Chicago Bears, he actually ranked second on the team in terms of tackles on run defense, with four. LB Demario Davis, the future member of the Saints' ring of honor, was the man ahead of him (with eight). On the day, Stutsman had six tackles, which was four more than fifth-year veteran Pete Werner, the man ahead of him on the depth chart.
