Add C.J. Gardner-Johnson (nom de guerre: Ceedy Duce) to the list of Saints working hard this offseason to prepare for a big 2021 season. Listed as a safety, Gardner-Johnson mainly lined up in the slot for New Orleans’ nickel defense, which was their most frequent personnel package (dime was second-best).
