Sanoussi Kane is a tough, developmental Purdue safety with NFL upside
Sanoussi Kane entered the pros after a strong Purdue career and was drafted in the 2024 NFL Draft by Baltimore, signaling real safety traits: size, physicality, and a willingness to play downhill. In his college career at Purdue, he posted 161 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 10 passes defended, and 3 forced fumbles, which points to a disruptive, all-around defender rather than a pure coverage specialist. His calling card is effort and contact balance; the knock is that he’s more of a role player than a flashy stat-stuffer, so he fits best on a team that values toughness, special teams value, and development.
