Saints' Lattimore wants interceptions against teams that passed on him in draft
New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore has a list.
The No. 11 pick of the 2017 NFL Draft and last season's Defensive Rookie of the Year plans to continue to prove the 10 teams that passed on him, and their respective fanbases, wrong in his sophomore campaign.
"There's still doubters out there. Twitter people," Lattimore said, according to Nick Underhill of The Advocate. "I mean, I still have to pick some of those teams off. I (picked off) the Jets last year and the Bears, they passed on me. I have to get every team that passed on me. I have to get a pick that game."
Lattimore recorded a total of five interceptions in his 13 games last season.
Of the remaining eight teams left on his list, he'll get his chance against three of them during the 2018 regular season. The Saints host the Cleveland Browns in Week 2, visit the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10, and play the Carolina Panthers in Weeks 15 and 17.
Lattimore missed both of last year's regular-season matchups against the NFC South rival Panthers due to injuries.
