It’s a ‘homecoming’ for Jayden Daniels and Marshon Lattimore when the Commanders visit the Saints
Associated PressNEW ORLEANS — The last time Jayden Daniels played in the Superdome, he was making his LSU debut — and starting a second chapter in his college career that would culminate with him winning the Heisman Trophy one year ago. “I’m excited to go back and be able to play in the state of Louisiana again,” said Daniels, who had a chance to attend some Saints home games during the two falls he spent in Baton Rouge, about an 80-mile drive up the Mississippi River from New Orleans. Last week’s victory was New Orleans’ third in four games since third-year coach Dennis Allen was fired and replaced by special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi. “He’s going to be more dangerous than maybe every quarterback we’ve played.” Lattimore’s return The Saints traded Lattimore more than a month ago, ending a nearly eight-year stint with New Orleans that saw him win defensive rookie of the year in 2017 and receive four Pro Bowl nods. “There’s really not a guy in league that he can’t cover.” Rizzi also noted the “irony” of Lattimore — who was traded on Nov. 5 and hasn’t played since Oct. 27 — making his Washington debut in New Orleans.
