The New Orleans Saints<\/strong> currently sit in third place in the NFC South<\/strong>. Their 2-4 record seems like they are on their way to a ho-hum season. When you take a closer look at those four losses, however, they tell a different story.<\/p>\n

Putting their loss to the Atlanta Falcons<\/strong> aside, the Saints\u00a0have lost their other three games by\u00a0one point\u00a0(versus the Oakland Raiders<\/strong>),\u00a0three points\u00a0(versus the New York Giants<\/strong>) and six points (versus the Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong>). The Saints offense has played well this season,\u00a0but the defense has struggled.\u00a0If the New Orleans defense had\u00a0stepped up just a little bit in each of those games the Saints could be sitting in a much better\u00a0position six games into their season.<\/p>\n

Delvin Breaux’s Journey and Talent Make New Orleans Saints Fans Want Him Back on The Field<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cornerback Delvin Breaux<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0just might be the answer the Saints are looking for on the defensive side of the ball. Breaux, the Saints Defensive MVP of 2015, is working his way back from a broken fibula he suffered in Week one.\u00a0And Breaux knows how to work hard to come back from\u00a0injury. The defensive back’s\u00a0playmaking ability is just what the Saints need to turn their 2016 campaign around.\u00a0\u00a0Who Dat Nation<\/strong> rallied behind the cornerback, who they have a real connection with,\u00a0last year as he led the team in interceptions.<\/p>\n

Delvin Breaux Has Strong Ties to New Orleans<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While you could write a script like this, it wouldn\u2019t be all that believable. Delvin Breaux was born and raised in New Orleans. He played his high school football at McDonogh High School<\/strong>, also\u00a0in New Orleans. While at McDonogh High School,\u00a0Breaux\u00a0received a scholarship to LSU. However, his high school career ended abruptly on October 27, 2006 when he fractured three vertebrae during a kick return.<\/p>\n

Breaux Wasn’t Finished With Football<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While many heart-breaking football stories have ended here, there was more in store for Delvin Breaux.\u00a0 LSU honored the scholarship and Breaux assisted as a player-coach. He never got the green light to suit up and play for the Tigers and eventually left LSU.<\/p>\n

Breaux eventually began to play professional football. His first stop was the Louisiana Bayou Vipers<\/strong> of the GDFL<\/strong> in 2012 and he earned a spot on the All-Star team. The unbelievable ties to the Big Easy continued when\u00a0Breaux then went to the New Orleans VooDoo<\/strong> of the Arena League<\/strong> in 2013. He moved on to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats<\/strong> of the Canadian Football League<\/strong> where he earned a spot on another All-Star team in 2014.
\nBreaux’s combination of size, speed and coverage forced the Hamilton Tiger-Cats\u2019 hand and they released him so he could sign with the Saints.<\/p>\n

New Orleans natives knew the story heading into his NFL debut in 2015. Breaux\u2019s story was told during several of their games last year, especially during\u00a0national broadcasts, which\u00a0appeal to the masses.\u00a0Despite being relatively new to the NFL, Delvin Breaux has used his experiences to become one of the leaders of the Saints\u00a0team.<\/p>\n

The Saints bring their 2-4 record home this week when they host former Saints tight end\u00a0Jimmy Graham<\/strong> <\/a>and the 4-1-1 Seattle Seahawks<\/strong>. As the season progresses, so do the stakes. But as Delvin Breaux continues to get closer to his return, hope\u00a0for the Saints and their fans just might increase\u00a0as well.<\/p>\n
