The New Orleans Saints have been one of the NFL’s better teams at finding productive undrafted free agents. Pierre Thomas, Deonte Harty, Josh Hill, Chris Ivory, Delvin Breaux, Jonathan Casillas...even Junior Galette...all were signed as undrafted free agents and produced in New Orleans for various periods of time.
The Saints are hoping they can strike gold again with this year’s class of undrafted free agents, and the good folks at NBC believe they have a chance. NBC analyst Thor Nystrom ranked the undrafted free agent class of each NFC team, and the Saints were given the second-best class in the conference:
The Saints are one of three NFL teams that have finished in the top-10 of my UDFA rankings all four years.
