Saints position breakdown: Cornerbacks

Cornerbacks currently on the Saints roster: Randall Gay Jabari Greer Malcolm Jenkins Reggie Jones Tracy Porter Patrick Robinson Leigh Torrence Gone are the days where the Saints relied on players such as Fred Thomas and Jason David to hold up as cornerbacks in the secondary.

The Saints starting cornerbacks, Greer and Porter, make up one of the best starting tandems in the league, and easily the best in the always tough NFC South. Behind them, the Saints have some solid depth in first-round pick Robinson, and Gay. Jenkins is slowly making the transfer to safety, but is still considered a cornerback on the Saints roster. Jones and Torrence are long shots to make the roster this season, but Jones particularly has shown flashes and is definitely a candidate for the team’s practice squad.
