The Saints traded up for the 2nd overall pick back in 2029 for a stud CB who shined in Iowa after being moved from WR to DB.
Taylor Porter went on to have a very successful season, wracking up 4 interceptions, 2 of them going for defensive touchdowns. He helped the saints dominate that season, and despite losing the NFC south, they were a wildcard team and we’re still favorites to win the Super Bowl.
Only, they were humbled in Atlanta after LaMichael Barr was injured early in the game, it was too much the Saints had to overcome.
But despite the loss, Taylor Porter still had a phenomenal rookie year, and completed it with a DROTY award.
This season, Taylor Porter is putting his rookie numbers to rest as he has 6 INTs, and 4 TDs, nearly doubling his stats in just 11 games.
Taylor Porter was interviewed during the Saints’ close win with rookie Mitch Derby having to step in for Fields, and Taylor Porter roared with excitement, claiming that he was “Primetime”.
Yet, many don’t know how to feel about this comment considering someone who many consider the best DB of all time, Deion Sanders who rightfully claimed the nickname ‘Primetime’.
Taylor Porter is an exciting young star. But is he boasting? Or was he just in the what of the moment? And what exactly does Primetime, the real Deion Sanders have to say about this?
