Saints Sign Undrafted RB CJ Donaldson

0:00On April 27, the New Orleans Saints skipped picking a running back in the 2026 NFL draft, but they wasted no time grabbing one right. After, they signed undrafted free agent CJ Donaldson, a dude who just wrapped up at Ohio State. Last season, he towed the rock 96 times for 361 yards, and a team-high 10 rushing touchdowns plus 15 catches for. 96 more yards. For Ohio State, Donaldson balled out for three years at West Virginia, where he sniffed out the in-zone 30 times on the ground. That's a nose for scores that don't come around often, and now he's bringing that talent from Miami, Florida, to the Big Easy. As 6'1 and 230 pounds, he's built like those old-school bruises, not the speedy scat backs you see everywhere now. The Saints room could use that power, especially with their eye on more touchdowns. Donaldson joins a crowded backfield, so he'll need to flash and camp to snag a roster spot, or at least land on the practice squad as a rookie. The Saints are betting on his scoring touch, paying off.
