Sneaking into the Top 25 Saints of 2020 is defensive tackle David Onyemata. Onyemata played in and started 15 regular-season games in 2019 and is slated to start alongside Sheldon Rankins on the interior defensive line in 2020.

Entering his fifth season in New Orleans at the age of twenty-seven after having been drafted in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Saints, the Lagos, Nigeria native made his way to New Orleans via the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada.
