Paulson Adebo is starting the 2024 the same way he ended 2023.

The New Orleans Saints cornerback is coming off a career season where he set single-season highs in interceptions and hit double-digit pass breakups for the first time in his three-year tenure in the NFL.

Adebo now goes from career year to contract year. If he's able to build on last season's campaign, Adebo will be a much wealthier man a year from today. Performances like the one he put up on Sunday make the outcome more likely.

Bryce Young targeted Adebo 10 times on Sunday. That's one of the more impressive aspects of his season last year. Adebo was continuously tested and rose to the occasion. This trend followed him into the season opener.

Of his 10 targets, Adebo only allowed half of them to be completed, and he and forced three incompletions with tight coverage. Forced incompletions shows a larger picture of the impact the cornerback had on attempts directed his way. But his next test is going to be tougher. Newly-paid Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak  Prescott is going to test Adebo early and often, especially if a hamstring injury sidelines Marshon Lattimore for Week 2.
