Saints signed Auburn OT Avery Young.
Young (6'5/328) made 36 starts on Auburn’s offensive line, mostly playing right tackle but also seeing action at both guard spots. He was a third-team All-SEC pick as a senior. Young turned in sluggish pre-draft workouts, managing a 5.39 forty, 25-inch vertical, and slow agility scores. Adequate-not-special as both a run and pass blocker in college, Young’s skill set would fit best inside at guard. He could prove useful as a multi-position swing reserve.
