New Orleans Saints undrafted rookie profile: Jordan Wyatt
Could this undrafted playmaker crack a talented Saints defensive backfield?
By Bob Rose
The New Orleans Saints have one of the youngest secondaries in the NFL. Cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore and Eli Apple, both top-12 draft choices, are 23 years old and possess less than four years of NFL experience. Safeties Marcus Williams and Vonn Bell, both second round draft picks, are 22 and 24 years old respectively, and also have less than four years in the NFL. Reserve cornerbacks Justin Hardee, P.J. Williams, and Ken Crawley are all under 26, and also less than four years of playing experience, leaving Patrick Robinson (31) and Chris Banjo (29) as the elder statesmen of the unit. The Saints added more youth on the back end in this year's draft, adding safeties Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Saquan Hampton in the fourth and sixth rounds. Another player trying to latch on to a roster spot among these talented players is the subject of today's undrafted player profile.
Jordan Wyatt, CB (S.M.U.)
5'11 195
Wyatt would attend Southern Methodist University after being a three sport star --football, basketball, and track-- at East High School in Texas. He would redshirt the 2014 season, but would be a starter over the next four years. His first season of action saw him grab 2 interceptions and forcing a fumble while netting 31 tackles. Wyatt would star in his second season with the Mustangs, racking up 50 tackles, including 3 for loss, also forcing 4 fumbles and intercepting 4 passes, returning two for scores.
