EspañolSelected in the third round (93rd overall) from Virginia, Sanker stepped into a larger role than expected after Julian Blackmon's season-ending injury. He played 89% of the team's defensive snaps, recording 80 total tackles, 3 for loss, and 2 interceptions. Despite some inconsistencies down the stretch, the 23-year-old safety showed excellent range and instincts as a deep safety, helping the Saints' young secondary become the team's most consistent defensive unit.
