The New Orleans Saints made moves to select seven first-year players in the 2023 NFL draft, but that’s only part of their rookie class. The team announced contracts with 13 undrafted players on Saturday ahead of rookie minicamp practices next week — with some of them ranking among league leaders in lucrative contract guarantees.
First-round defensive tackle Bryan Bresee and second-round defensive end Isaiah Foskey have drawn a lot of attention, but it’s important to keep up with the young talent who will be competing for roster spots over the summer.
Here’s a look at the Saints’ confirmed undrafted free agent signings from Saturday’s announcement:
OG Alex Pihlstrom, Illinois
LB Anfernee Orji, Vanderbilt
DB Anthony Johnson Jr., Virginia
K Blake Grupe, Notre Dame
DT Jerron Cage, Ohio State
TE Joel Wilson, Central Michigan
P Lou Hedley, Miami
WR/RS Malik Flowers, Montana
OT Mark Evans II, Arkansas-Pine Bluff
LB Nick Anderson, Tulane
RB SaRodorick Thomspon Jr., Texas Tech
WR Shaquan Davis, South Carolina State
