"I actually had quite a bit of contact early in the draft process with the #Saints," – Landon Young#SaintsDraft pic.twitter.com/28jPJV5y4A

There are a lot of draft prospects who come to the NFL raw and inexperienced, but Landon Young isn’t one of them. The New Orleans Saints traded up in the sixth round to bag the first-team All-SEC left tackle, and for good reason: he’s put 2,529 snaps behind him at the college level. He’s started 30 of the 49 games he’s played for Kentucky, almost entirely at left tackle.
