Where does Lonnie Johnson Jr. fit into the Saints defense?

The New Orleans Saints have made an effort to add something the defense severely lacked in 2022 - depth in the secondary.

Notable free agent signings included CB Lonnie Johnson Jr., FS Johnathan Abram, and CB Troy Pride Jr. The Saints also drafted SS Jordan Howden and CB Anthony Johnson.

When healthy, the Saints have a strong cornerback core that has the potential to be a top unit in the league. Marshon Lattimore has consistently proven to be a top cornerback in the NFL. After Lattimore’s injury in week five, rookie Alontae Taylor rose to the occasion and made a solid case to be the CB2 in 2023.
