EDGE Analysis

It's a disappointing start to the preseason for a second-year breakout candidate, especially given that Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston attempted 12 passes apiece. Of course, it's still a small sample from an exhibition contest, so the broader case for Trautman remains the same. The 2020 third-round pick is hoping to become one of the Saints' top pass catchers, particularly while WR Michael Thomas rehabs from ankle surgery early in the season. We'll hope to see a busier outing from Trautman when the Saints face the Jaguars on Aug. 23 in their second preseason game.
