New Orleans Saints 2020 season recap: Marcus Davenport 'We try to never take a play off'
FEBRUARY 18, 2021 • NEWORLEANSSAINTS.COM
Is Marcus Davenport, face of the Saints' disappointing 2018 draft class, a bust? Labeling Davenport a “bust” is more complicated than a simple yes or no answer, but his disappointing 2020 season did not help his case.

Takes step back in 2020 Davenport racked up 21 tackles (12 solo), 2.0 passes defended and 1.5 sacks across 11 regular-season games for the Saints in 2020.
Impact Davenport's production took a noticeable step back in 2020, at least partially due to the career-low 11 games and 374 defensive snaps played. The tackles and sacks were the lowest marks of his career, and he failed to force a fumble after forcing four across his first two seasons. Under contract with New Orleans in 2021, he'll look to return and improve on his 2020 numbers.

Good to go Davenport (concussion) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game versus the Eagles.
Impact Davenport progressed through the league's five-step concussion protocol and will miss only one game as a result of the injury. Trey Hendrickson continues to start ahead of Davenport, but the two essentially split time at defensive end. That hasn't led to much production for Davenport, as he's posted just 13 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two pass breakups through seven games this year.
