Jayden Price made sure the Jacksonville Jaguars received nothing on a third-and-long attempt that resulted in a throw downfield. Facing third-and-19 late in the second quarter, the Jaguars attacked the first-down marker. Price read the play, closed on the intended target, and secured the interception before taking the ball back the other way for a New Orleans Saints takeaway. It was an important moment for a young defensive back competing for a place in the rotation of the Saints' secondary. Price has worked behind Jonas Sanker at the STAR position during training camp, where his ability to cover, tackle, and process plays in space has been put to the test. Creating a turnover in his first preseason opportunity gives the coaching staff a glimpse of what he can offer in that role.
JAYDEN PRICE INT 🙌 📺: FOX-8 pic.twitter.com/KG3YvuRUNg — New Orleans Saints (@Saints) August 15, 2026 Price handled the play exactly as he should have in that situation. He kept the route in front of him, reacted as the quarterback committed to the throw, and arrived in position to finish with the football. His return also allowed the Saints to gain additional field position. New Orleans has several young DBs fighting for roles behind its starters. An interception on third-and-long by Price, a player who has stood out in camp, could help him distinguish himself in the position competition as it continues.
