A third-round draft choice out of Stanford in 2021, Adebo started all 17 games as a rookie and finished with 63 tackles (54 solo), three interceptions, eight passes defensed, and three special teams stops. He became only the fifth Saints rookie to have at least three interceptions, joining Robert Massey (1989), Sammy Knight (1997), Marshon Lattimore (2017), and Marcus Williams (2017).
Since 2021, the Saints have given up the fewest passing touchdowns, second-lowest completion percentage and passer rating, and 10th-fewest net passing yards.
Prior to the NFL, Paulson was a two-time All-Pac-12 selection and led the nation in pass breakups as a sophomore in 2018. He was college teammates with Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke.
