Last season, the New Orleans Saints had a dominant defense led by Dennis Allen. On Friday, defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson shared his thoughts on that unit’s outlook for this fall.
When asked if the Saints have the best defense in the league, Gardner-Johnson had a very strong response.
“Of course, first level, second level, third level. All this talent, we’re not gonna waste it,” Gardner-Johnson said.
Gardner-Johnson isn’t wrong for thinking that New Orleans has a ton of talent on defense. At this moment, the Saints’ starting defense features Demario Davis, Cam Jordan, Marshon Lattimore and Tyrann Mathieu among others.
Obviously, Gardner-Johnson is a notable player in his own right. In 2021, he had 46 tackles, seven passes defended and three interceptions.
Gardner-Johnson has one year remaining on his deal with the Saints. If he has another strong season, he could receive a lucrative contract in 2023.
The Saints will start the season on the road against the Atlanta Falcons.
