As we approach the start of the NFL 2023 regular season, a lot of rookies are set to attempt make their mark on teams across the league. The New Orleans Saints have announced their 53-man roster that includes nine total rookies, all seven from this year’s draft class plus two undrafted rookies in kicker Blake Grupe and punter Lou Hedley.
The decision to keep nine rookies on the roster is a sign of the Saints’ commitment to rebuilding a solid and younger team for the future of the Saints organization. The team is coming off a disappointing 7-10 season, and they are looking to get more athletic on both sides of the ball.
