Julian Blackmon Ready to Shine | New Orleans Saints News

Julian Blackmon, the Saints’ safety wearing number 23, is back and healthy after missing most of last season with a devastating injury — and he’s ready to make his mark this year. Drafted by the Colts in 2020, he rose through the ranks at Utah, switching from cornerback to safety and leading his conference in interceptions as a senior. Known for bouncing back from setbacks, Blackmon signed with New Orleans last offseason to pair with Justin Reid — until that first-game injury derailed everything. Now re-signed for another shot, he’s primed to deliver elite play and elevate the Saints’ defense. With 23 days until kickoff against Detroit, fans are watching closely — because Blackmon’s time to shine is finally here.
