Jets, Chiefs, Eagles boast most improved secondaries in the NFL - NFL.com
The arrival of Brandon Browner gives the Saints a more physical presence at corner. The 6-foot-4, 221-pounder is a bully in coverage, relying on an ultra-aggressive style that overwhelms receivers. He will team with Keenan Lewis to give the Saints a pair of hard-nosed, physical cover men on the edges. Jairus Byrd hasn't hit the practice field yet, but Payton says that will happen "sooner than later." Last offseason's marquee free-agent signing managed just four games in 2014; when healthy, he shuts down passing lanes in the middle of the field as a crafty ballhawk with 22 career picks. If Kenny Vaccaro and Rafael Bush can settle into their roles as "MOF" enforcers and reduce the assignment errors that plagued the unit last fall, the Saints' secondary could rank as one of the best in the business by the season's end.
