Saints Preseason Standouts Shine | New Orleans News

Zach Wilson dazzled in his preseason debut, throwing for 145 yards and a TD while cementing himself as the top backup QB contender. Bub Means exploded for 77 yards and emerged as a key target with another receiver sidelined, proving he’s no longer on the bubble. On defense, undrafted Michael Heldman made waves with 2 sacks and 3 QB pressures, while Jayden Price led the team with an interception and two breakups — and Martin Emerson Jr. added three more breakups. Jaylan Ford anchored the middle with 8 tackles, a deflection, and an interception. With roster spots on the line, these standout performances are forcing tough calls from the coaching staff — and fans are already watching closely to see who makes the final cut.
