Xavier Rhodes

The New Orleans Saints have one of the top cornerbacks in the entire NFL with Marshon Lattimore. After Eli Apple went down with an injury, they signed another good cornerback in newly released Janoris Jenkins.

However, the New Orleans Saints could benefit greatly by signing Xavier Rhodes. Rhodes is another top-five cornerback in the NFL when he’s at his best. He just hasn’t been at his best in a few years. While Jenkins is good; Rhodes is great and will continue to be that way.

Xavier Rhodes paired with Marshon Lattimore would be the best cornerback duo in the NFL. They would almost secure one of the top secondaries in the league, which is an area they were lacking in last year.

Rhodes is a three-time Pro Bowl selection and has a first-team All-Pro on his resume as well. Last year, he 63 tackles with 6 passes defended in 15 games. He also added one forced fumble and five tackles for a loss.
