Saints one of the NFL’s best in preseason Power Rankings

It’s still only the preseason, so not every major media outlet has released their Power Rankings to start the NFL season. Still, there are a few sources already releasing rankings at this point, so how do the New Orleans Saints rank?

ESPN - #3

Surpring player to watch: WR Tre’Quan Smith. The rookie third-round draft pick from Central Florida has made some of the flashiest plays throughout training camp and the preseason opener, showing a good combination of size and speed at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds. Coaches have still been harping on him for issues such as communication, alignment, etc. But his big-play ability should get him on the field as a third or fourth receiver.

USA Today - #6

Any more underrated player than WR Michael Thomas? He’s one key to a team with plenty of motivation to overcome2017’s missed opportunity.

Bleacher Report - #3

Good luck finding a more interesting player than Taysom Hill, who’s been a special teams gunner before and just went berserk as a quarterback, completing 8-of-9 passes for 72 yards and rushing seven times for 52 yards and a score.

Average Power Ranking Composite: #4
