Report: Saints interested in trading up for Virginia Tech CB Caleb Farley
Caleb Farley is generating plenty of interest ahead of this week's 2021 NFL Draft.
According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, the New Orleans Saints are interested in trading up for the Virginia Tech cornerback.
New Orleans currently owns the 28th overall pick, while the Tennessee Titans have the 22nd selection.
Farley is seen as one of the better cornerbacks in this year's draft, though he's been dealing with a back injury for more than two years and has had two surgeries since he played his last game in 2019, which hurt his draft stock.
The 22-year-old opted out of the 2020 season due to the pandemic. He recorded four interceptions, 12 pass breakups and 20 tackles in 2019.
The Saints need a cornerback after releasing Janoris Jenkins this offseason. If they don't land Farley, they could draft another cornerback in a later round.
