Saints selected Virginia S Jonas Sanker with the No. 93 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Sanker (6’/206) is a punishing safety prospect with intriguing straight line burst (10’8 broad jump) and speed (4.48-second 40-yard dash). He spent three seasons as a starter at UVA, notably improving his play in year two. Sanker can be trusted to handle tight ends in coverage and should stand out on special teams. Among Power Five safeties over the last two seasons, he ties for seventh in TFLs (16), ranks fifth in stops (63), second in forced incompletions (14) and first in solo tackles (175). His Day 2 draft capital means he could get on the field sooner than originally expected.
