The New Orleans Saints defense has been built on culture for quite some time. Ever since the basis of Marshon Lattimore, Cameron Jordan, and Demario Davis got together, it went to a new level.

Now, fellow players have taken notice. Those guys are stepping up to support their teammates and celebrate their victories. It's a part of sports that some folks may overlook. Depth defensive back and key special teams player Isaac Yiadom exemplified that on Sunday against the New England Patriots.

One thing I love about the #Saints defense is the culture. This unit believes in each other and supports each other.

First person to come onto the field to celebrate Paulson Adebo's PBU? Isaac Yiadom.

Yiadom isn't a star. That being said, he's played very well for the Saints this season. Entering Week 5, Yiadom was actually the highest-graded CB in the NFL, according to PFF. He stepped up while Adebo missed time with an injury, but Adebo's return didn't deflate Yiadom.

He proved that by celebrating Adebo's big play on Sunday.

It is one of many examples of the camaraderie that this Saints team shares. That's why they've placed so much pressure eon themselves to be successful this year. They know wha they are capable of when they play to their standard.

Yiadom isn't the most well-known player in the Saints secondary, but his energy symbolizes what makes their defense special in many ways.
