The New Orleans Saints made some waves in recruiting undrafted free agents, bringing in some solid rookie prospects to supplement a small crop of draft picks. One of those players added after the 2019 NFL Draft could not only make the squad, but carve out a role for himself: former Nebraska Cornhuskers running back Devine Ozigbo.
Ozigbo’s college career was quiet until head coach Scott Frost returned to his alma mater, installing his zone-blocking scheme and making Ozigbo the engine driving his offense. Ozigbo’s yards gained per carry jumped from a pedestrian 4.2 (from 2015 to 2017) into a head-turning 7.
