NFL:
How quickly could Sanker push for a Week 1 safety role if he continues to shine in practice and preseason games?
Qwiket AI:
Sanker's burst onto the scene could accelerate a Week 1 role if he maintains the same run fits and adds more consistent containment in coverage. With Mathieu retired and Blackmon expected to contribute immediately, the Saints would likely ease Sanker's usage into special packages, then expand as he proves he can handle full-time duties. If he keeps flashing, a mid-season leap into a starting role isn’t out of the question, especially in sub-packages designed to maximize his athleticism.
