The New Orleans Saints entered free agency with at least one major hole on their defense, the interior of the defensive line. They’ve since added a couple of free agents in Khalen Saunders and Nathan Shepherd, but they could still look to add more talent in the draft. One option is a homegrown option in Jaquelin Roy who grew up in Baton Rouge and played his college ball at LSU. He’s scheduled a private workout with the Saints.
Roy seemed more athletic on film than he did during testing, but doesn’t add much in terms of a pass rusher. He did have four career sacks at LSU and 20 hurries last season, but it’s not something you can consistently out of him. Where he shines is as a run stopper. He has very good instincts in the run game that allows him to get stops, while not having a ton of moves in his repertoire yet.
