Landon Young will play tackle for the New Orleans Saints

Landon Young came off the board in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft to the New Orleans Saints on Saturday. Heading into a situation that has some clear starters along the line of scrimmage, many were wondering which position along the line Young would play.

The Lexington (Ky.) Lafayette product was strictly a left tackle at the University of Kentucky where he played 49 career games with 24 consecutive starts at left tackle to end his career. The All-SEC selection was a one-position player in college, but the prospect will need to show some positional versatility at the next level.
