Attention is rightly paid to the players with the biggest reputations – the high draft picks and expensive free agents. But NFL teams take all kinds to build their rosters. In this series, I’ll be studying players who are primed to break out for the New Orleans Saints.
Kasim Edebali is one of a couple of Saints players who hails from outside the United States. A native of Germany, Edebali found a spot on Boston College’s football team after participating in a foreign student exchange program in high school. The high school quarterback initially played both ways as a tight end and defensive end, but Boston College’s staff saw his potential as a pass-rusher and decided to keep him there.
