Lorenzo Neal Jr. Signs with New Orleans Saints

It took a little while longer than Lorenzo Neal Jr. would’ve liked I’m sure but it finally happened. Late last night it was reported by Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Advocate that Neal had signed with the New Orleans Saints.

Neal came back for his senior year to show that he had fully returned from his injury and that he could continue to play at a high level. Unfortunately he didn’t show as much as NFL scouts had hoped and he wound up undrafted. Neal is a big man at 6’3 and 325 (according to ESPN) and can really eat up some space on a defensive line.
