Nathan Stupar was one of three linebackers to come to the Saints this year in free agency (with Craig Robertson and James Laurinaitis the others). Like Robertson, Stupar was brought in primarily for Special Teams, but was pressed into more playing time on the defense with the combination of injury and poor performance from the starters.
Calling himself a “football swiss army knife,” Stupar prides himself on the ability to play multiple positions and help his team win games in multiple different ways. Stupar was a standout on special teams, as he was one of the few tacklers who could bring the opposing return man to the ground.
