A former second-round pick, third-year defensive back Alontae Taylor seems to be primed for a massive breakout for the Saints in the 2024 NFL Season. Frequently having his number called for a blitz from his nickel spot in the New Orleans secondary, Taylor got to the quarterback early and often in this season opening matchup against Carolina, tallying a total of three sacks on the day to go along with six total tackles and one pass defended. The breakout performance caused his career sack total to quadruple from one to four, as the Saints beat the Panthers, 47-10, on Sept. 8, 2024.
