New Orleans Saints will start a fourth quarterback this season: Who is and how does Ian Book play?

NFL

A real ordeal is the one he is living New orleans saints on the National Football League (NFL). Being one of the teams affected by the massive contagion in the league, their chances of staying competitive were limited, and quite a bit.

The team led by Sean Payton is second in the NFC South positions, several games behind the Tampa bay buccaneers from Tom brady, and for now out of the playoffs. To fight for a place in the top seven in the conference, you have to have a quarterback … but this would be exactly the Saints problem for their commitment to Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football.

With the already known loss of Jameis Winston, out all year due to a knee injury, New Orleans has on its roster two of its three quarterbacks infected with COVID (Trevor Siemian and Taysom Hill), therefore they must entrust the offense to … Rookie Ian Book!

Who is Ian Book and how does he play?

Selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Ian Book was one of the most polarizing prospects in this brood of quarterbacks.Although he brought with him experience and leadership, the intangibles to become a good QB at a professional level seemed not to be there.

Sometimes it’s the right time and place, and Book has that chance this Monday. Neither Siemian nor Hill are position securities in the Saints, so a good performance can catapult him, against all odds, to the starting position in New Orleans.

In his time at Notre Dame, one of the top universities in the U.S, Book became the quarterback who won the most games with the Fighting Irish jersey (30-5 record). Despite being a QB who uses his feet a lot to gain yardage, the California State native is the second-highest scoring passer in program history (72). His opportunity in the NFL has arrived, and he has everything to take advantage of it.
