Trevor Darling's perseverance paid off.

After not being selected in the NFL Draft, the former University of Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman impressed the New Orleans Saints enough to sign him to a contract.

Darling's agent confirmed to the Miami Herald on Thursday that the versatile lineman has signed a three-year rookie deal with the Saints.

"After the draft, I asked Trevor to trust the process and make the most of his opportunities," said Kristal Caron, Darling's agent from CN Sports. "He did just that and I'm super excited for him."
