Only 35 days are left before we see the New Orleans Saints take the field for their 2026 regular season opener. This season, the Saints will start their year on the road when facing the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Sept. 13. Wearing No. 35 for New Orleans in training camp is Elliott Davison at safety.Davison, an undrafted rookie in 2025, spent last year on the New Orleans practice squad. He now has a second chance to make the roster, but in what appears to be an even deeper defensive backfield. Our latest Saints Player of the Day, here's a look at Davison's background.Name (age): Elliott Davison (24)Hometown: Tyler, TexasPosition: SafetyHeight, weight: 6-foot, 194 poundsCollege: Texas at San Antonio RoadrunnersRelative Athletic Score: 7.80Drafted: Undrafted in 2025 (Saints)NFL experience: 1 year2026 salary cap hit: $885,000A star at Tyler Legacy Lee High School, Davison was at the University of Incarnate Ward in Texas before transferring to the University of Texas at San Antonio. In two years at UTSA, Davison had 2 interceptions and broke up 5 passes while recording nearly 100 tackles. He led all Roadrunners defensive backs with 58 stops in 2024.Davison was released by the Saints at the conclusion of last year's training camp. He was brought back to the team's practice squad, but did not see any game action. Davison now gets his second chance for a roster spot. However, his position may be even more talented than last year. Veterans Justin Reid, Jonas Sanker, Jordan Howden, and Terrell Burgess are back. The Saints also return Julian Blackmon from injury and added rookie Lorenzo Styles Jr. with a fifth round choice. Elliott Davison must make an impact on special teams through the preseason, but also show he can make plays defensively to grab a roster spot.This article originally appeared on Saints Wire: Countdown to Kickoff: Elliott Davison is the Saints Player of Day 35
