Ruiz was selected with the 24th overall pick as a center out of Michigan in last year’s draft. Unlike previous rookies, Ruiz did not have the luxury of a normal offseason. Without minicamps, OTAs or preseason games, he was propelled into the Saints’ starting lineup at right guard in Week 4 after guard Andrus Peat suffered an ankle injury the previous week.
