Surprise defensive back is an early riser at Saints training camp

New Orleans Saints cornerback Jayden Price has emerged as a major surprise during training camp, earning praise for his speed, aggressiveness, and ability to impact games. Following a strong performance during OTAs and minicamp, Price has maintained his form throughout the early stages of camp, impressing head coach Brandon Staley's STAR position.

According to Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.Net, Price's notable qualities have set him apart thus far. Jackson highlighted his aggressive and physical play style while working behind safety Jonas Sanker, underscoring his speed and reaction time. Two instances of Price undercutting passes demonstrate his timing and ability to make critical plays.

If he can secure these catches, he might secure a spot on the 53-man roster. Signed by the Saints in 2025 after an unsuccessful stint with the Atlanta Falcons in 2024, Price's versatility and depth contribution behind Sanker present him with a clear path to securing a role. The competitive nature of training camp and the preseason suggests that Price could potentially alter his chances of making the team with a few standout plays.
