- New Orleans Saints secondary coach Aaron Glenn wants safety Kenny Vaccaro to play more than just in the box this season, adding deep safety to his repertoire.
- In 2016, Vaccaro played 720 snaps before serving his four-game suspension for violating the league’s PED policy. He ranked 28th among 90 safeties with an 80.6 overall grade.
- Vaccaro played nearly half of his snaps near the line of scrimmage (47.2 percent of snaps within eight yards in the box) leaving him involved in many run plays. His 5.2 run-stop percentage ranked 34th of 87 qualifying safeties.
- Only 10.2 percent of Vaccaro’s snaps came at free safety last season. Tackling will be even more crucial in his new role. It’s an area he’s seemed to have improved on since 2014 when he missed 19 tackles and ranked 92nd of 96 safeties in tackling efficiency.
