As the countdown continues to the 2025 NFL season, New Orleans Saints' safety Jordan Howden stands out as the Player of the Day. At 25, Howden is entering his third season with the Saints, having shown promise since being drafted in the fifth round (146th overall) in 2023. His college career at Minnesota was marked by consistent performance, including a notable 58 total tackles in his final year.

Howden's role in the secondary is crucial as the Saints prepare for their home opener against the Arizona Cardinals. With a salary cap hit of just over $1 million, his continued development is vital for the team's defensive strategy this season. As the Saints look to build on past successes, Howden represents an exciting piece of their future, both on and off the field.
