Saints trade up and select Landon Young with the 206th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft

The New Orleans Saints second trade up of the 2021 Draft has landed them Landon Young, an Offensive Tackle out of the University of Kentucky. Young will be a backup in 2021, as the Saints have one of the best tandems at OT in the NFL with Terron Armstead and Ryan Ramczyk.

Young is a decent prospect who was a four-year starter at Kentucky and a team captain during his senior year. He was named to one of the All-SEC teams in 2019 and 2020, and was part of an offensive line that was a two-time semifinalist for the Joe Moore award, which recognizes the best offensive line in college football.
