Comeback Player: DE Marcus Davenport

Davenport bounced back very well from his rookie year turf toe injury, even if his second season was also cut short after an unlucky foot issue. Prior to his exit in December, the starting defensive end was going on a tear. According to Pro Football Focus, before his injury Davenport was tied with T.J. Watt for 11th-best at his position, a marked improvement from his 2018 ranking of 48th. If Davenport can stay healthy for an entire season, he could very well be one of the best edge rushers in the league. That type of production would be vindication for the Saints who traded up to get him 14th in the 2018 NFL draft.
