ESPN analyst Ben Solak has come out with his All-Rookie team, naming four New Orleans Saints players. This is the first time since 2022 (when wide receiver Chris Olave was named) that anybody from New Orleans has earned the honor at all.
Quarterback Tyler Shough, left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., cornerback Quincy Riley, and safety Jonas Sanker are the players to be named this year. The first group of Saints players to be named to the all-rookie team since 2019, they are officially one of the best draft classes since the Sean Payton era.
Furthermore, depending on how Shough's career ends up, the 2025 draft class might be even better than the legendary class of 2017.
