Saints Draft Christen Miller, Youth Infusion

0:00It's April 25th, NFL news today starts now, AI powered and always on. The New Orleans Saints just snag Kristen Miller, that beast from Georgia Bulldogs in the second round of the 2026 NFL draft. This dude's built to clog up the interior line from anywhere and he's stepping into a defense screaming for fresh legs after running one of the league's oldest rotations last year. That unit was stacked with vets over 30. Like 32-year-old Nathan Shepard logging nearly 700 snaps and guys like Dave Angacho. And Jonathan Bullard, eating up big minutes, too. Brian Bersia 24 was the young gun holding it down, but the average age was dragging them back. Fast forward, Bullard and Jonah Williams bounced in free agency, so now they're sliding in 25-year-old Broughton in 22-year-old. Miller to fill those gaps. Shepard and God show are both in their final contract year, opening the door for these rookies to climb quick.

1:00Expect Miller to get starter reps in camp. Maybe even ahead of God show, since he's a top 50 pick, with serious upside. Breezy's locked in through 2027, but Broughton could spell him long term while Miller wrecked shop right away. This youth infusion could flip the Saints Front 4 into a nightmare for offenses, keeping that defensive fire lit for years.
