The New Orleans Saints drafted a a couple of offensive linemen in the 2024 NFL Draft. They began their picks with one in Taliese Fuaga and completed their selections with one in Josiah Ezirim from Eastern Kentucky.
Draft day reactions are the best part of this entire process. Ezirim did not disappoint when he received the call from the Saints.

His father made sure to capture the special moment in its entirety, and fans around football will appreciate that. Of course, Ezirim went ballistic with excitement around his loved ones.
You cannot doubt that he will be ready to get to work for the Saints when rookie minicamp begins. Plus, he can carve out a roster spot in New Orleans. They desperately need offensive line depth. He's new to the position, but he played extremely well at EKU.
Albeit against weaker competition, Pro Football Focus notes that Ezirim didn’t allow a sack or even a QB hit on nearly 500 snaps in pass protection in 2023.
The mountain of a man is pumped to wear the black and gold. His support around the fan base should be loud and proud.
