Sanker Impresses in Rookie Season

Safety Jonas Sanker made an immediate impact for the Saints in 2025, starting 16 games after an injury thrust him into a larger role than expected.

Sanker played 89% of defensive snaps and was a key figure on a defense that ranked 4th against the pass and 9th overall. The third-round draft pick finished with 80 total tackles, 3 for loss, 46 solo stops, and 2 interceptions while showing good range and instincts despite some inconsistencies down the stretch.
