Joins NOLA's quarterback room The Saints selected Book in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 133rd overall. Impact Book's landing spot is intriguing as the Saints look toward the post-Drew Brees era, but Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill are the only two names who'll be in the starting mix for 2021. As an instinctive, mobile runner with impressive top-end speed, Book boasts an intriguing ability to extend plays, but he didn't display a consistent ability to read the field and play from the pocket as a three-year starter at Notre Dame. Book best profiles as a backup at the NFL level, but any plus athlete given the opportunity to develop under coach Sean Payton is worth keeping an eye on.
