Danny Stutsman - Posts 53 tackles in rookie season Stutsman accumulated 53 tackles (25 solo) while playing in 17 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign.

The Oklahoma product saw a gradual increase in playing time over the course of the season, and he played almost half of the team's defensive snaps in Week 17 and Week 18.

Sanker went on to play almost every defensive snap for the remainder of his rookie campaign, finishing fourth on the team in tackles and tied for second in interceptions. The 23-year-old established himself as a key piece in New Orleans' secondary as a rookie, but he may see less playing time in 2026 after Blackmon re-signed a one-year deal to return alongside stalwart strong safety Justin Reid.
