Number One: Ohio State Ties

The New Orleans Saints and Ohio State have somewhat been linked together in recent years, which is why Saints head coach Sean Payton may take a chance on bringing in the young signal-caller to compete for the starting job in 2021.

This season, the Saints only have three players who played their college football at Ohio State, but the organization has made it well known that they love the culture Ohio State has and that they love acquiring players who played at Ohio State.

If Haskins were to be dealt to the Big Easy, he would join Malcolm Jenkins, Marshon Lattimore, and Michael Thomas as former Buckeye alumni. The team also had Vonn Bell for quite a while as well.

Haskins is a very talented quarterback who hasn’t even started a full 16 games yet in his career, and considering his productiveness to be the number 15 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, I could see the Saints bringing the 23-year-old in.
