Unpacking Future Packers: No. 7, Georgia CB Daylen Everette
Exploring Daylen Everette, Georgia CB ranked No. 7 for Packers in 2026 NFL Draft.
The New Orleans Saints signed Travis Etienne Jr. and may look to draft another running back in 2026. Emmett Johnson from Nebraska is a potential late-round target for the team.
Scouting Future Saints: Nebraska Cornhuskers RB Emmett Johnson
The New Orleans Saints made a big splash in free agency when they signed Travis Etienne Jr. to pair with Alvin Kamara in the backfield. Etienne's addition probably means that the Saints won't select a back with an early choice in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, don't be surprised if the team adds another back with a later pick. If that's the case, Emmett Johnson of the Nebraska Cornhuskers could be someone on their radar.
Etienne will likely be the featured back, but Kamara's future beyond 2026 is in some doubt. Kamara turns 31 in July and is entering his 10th season with a big contract after already showing some possible decline. Behind them, Kendre Miller has proven he shouldn't be relied on and 2025 sixth round choice Devin Neal has flashed potential but remains unproven. The Saints may be wise to add more talent to their backfield with a middle or later round pick.
Recipient of the 2021 Minnesota Mr. Football award at Academy of Holy Angels High School, Johnson began with the Nebraska Cornhuskers as a three-star recruit. He'd take a redshirt in 2022 then rushed for 411 yards with 2 scores in 2023 as part of a backfield committee. In 2024, Johnson picked up 598 yards on the ground and caught 39 passes for 286 yards with 3 total scores.
Emmett Johnson is a running back from the Nebraska Cornhuskers, known for his potential in college football.
The Saints may draft a running back in 2026 due to uncertainty surrounding Alvin Kamara's future and the need for depth behind Travis Etienne Jr.
Travis Etienne Jr.'s signing indicates he will likely be the featured back, reducing the need for an early draft pick at running back.
Alvin Kamara is entering his 10th season at age 31, and there are concerns about his performance decline and contract situation.

By 2025, Johnson was the Cornhuskers featured weapon and exploded onto the national radar. Johnson's 1,451 rushing yards and 251 carries both led the Big Ten and were among the NCAA leaders. He also caught a team-high 46 passes and scored 15 touchdowns, as his 1,821 yards from scrimmage were second across the NCAA. Those eye-popping numbers earned him 1st Team All-American honors as well as the 2025 Big Ten Running Back of the Year.
Johnson's 2025 tape and production are worthy of a high pick, but teams looking for a featured back might be wary of his lack of power. Still, Johnson has a strong chance of being picked somewhere on the second day and shouldn't last later than the fourth round. His decisive one-cut and go style and receiving ability gives him a strong chance to be an instant contributor with an incredibly high upside of a potential starter.
New Orleans has had success with late-round picks and undrafted players at running back. Emmett Johnson won't last that long. But, if Johnson slips into Day 3, the Saints could be tempted to add him and bolster their backfield in multiple ways.
