The New Orleans Saints have a massive question regarding their offense in 2024. No, it is not quarterback Derek Carr this time. Alvin Kamara’s contract situation? Not that either. Rather, the Saints offensive line is extremely unproven for the upcoming season.
Pro Football Focus has been ranking position groups around the NFL during the offseason. Their latest rankings are for OL groups around the league.
Saints OL ranked last in the NFL by PFF
On paper, the Saints’ offensive line features four former first-round picks. But their performance says otherwise.
Right tackle Ryan Ramczyk will likely need to miss the entire season, which will force New Orleans to play Trevor Penning at that spot after benching him in 2023.
Right guard Cesar Ruiz has failed to rank among the top 50 guards in PFF overall grade in any of his first four seasons. As a result, the Saints have to hope that Oregon State product Taliese Fuaga will hit the ground running at left tackle to improve the unit.
