Jonas Sanker

23-Year-Old SafetyS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sanker is coming off a four-year college career at Virginia, where he started 33 games and totaled more than 200 tackles across his final two seasons. The 2025 third-round pick also was a first-team all-conference selection as a junior and senior. He profiles as a versatile safety who will be a productive tackler, but he'll likely take some time to develop. With Tyran Mathieu retiring late in the offseason, Sanker figures to back up free safety Julian Blackmon in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Saints pick up third-round safety
SNew Orleans Saints
April 25, 2025
The Saints selected Sanker in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 93rd overall.
ANALYSIS
Sanker (6-feet, 206 pounds) started three years at Virginia and piled up a big tackle count in the process. He followed up his solid collegiate career with good combine testing, where his 4.48-second 40-yard dash graded much better than most safeties. The Virginia defense was not particularly good during Sanker's game, so some refinement might be in order before he pushes for starting snaps in New Orleans.
