Alontae Taylor was one of five Tennessee players drafted in the 2022 NFL Draft, but he has been the only one to cement himself as a starter out of that draft class. He suffered a knee injury as a rookie, but that didn't stop him from starting nine of the final 11 games of the season.
In that time, he recorded 45 tackles and a team-high 11 passes defended while being a big part of the Saints' special teams all season. He got even better in year two with 75 total tackles and two interceptions.
