The New Orleans Saints' secondary has undergone significant changes this offseason, yet they managed to secure the No. 20 spot in Pro Football Focus' ranking of NFL secondaries, narrowly avoiding the bottom ten. This ranking is notable as the Saints are now the second-best unit in the NFC South, outperforming rivals like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers.

Despite losing key players like Marshon Lattimore and Paulson Adebo, the Saints' defensive strategy has relied on a blend of draft picks and free agent signings. Young corners such as Kool-Aid McKinstry, a second-round pick in 2024, and Quincy Riley, selected in the fourth round, are expected to evolve as the season progresses. The team remains optimistic about its youth and potential for growth, hoping to cultivate a more formidable secondary.
