The Saints are another NFL team not typically white friendly, however they look to start 6 white players in 2024 up from 4 in 2023. Derek Carr returns as the starting QB and it's always interesting to see if QB/RB/TE Taysom Hill gets any touches during a game. The Saints put TE Foster Moreau in as the starter and DT Brian Bresee is now starting.
Total number of White Starters: 6
Total number of White Players on 53 man roster: 15
Because of the plus 2 improvement, I'll move the Saints grade to: D+
Here is a look at projected starters and the few white backups.
Offense
QB-Derek Carr, Jake Haener.
TE-Foster Moreau, Tayson Hill, Dallin Holker
LG-Lucas Patrick, Landon Young
RG-Nick Saldiveri
RT- Trevor Pennington
Defense
DT-Brian Bresee, John Ridgeway
LB-Pete Werner
Pk-Blake Gruppe
P-Matthew Hayball
LS-Zach Wood
As mentioned Carr returns as the Saints starter at QB. TE Foster Moreau gets his chance to begin the year as the starter with Taysom Hill listed as the third string TE. Also worth mentioning, number 4 TE Dallin Holker makes the 53 man roster as and UDFA out of Colorado State.
Defensively, three year starter Pete Werner returns at LB and DT Brian Bresee moves into the starting right tackle position. Only one defensive back up I could find is tackle John Ridgeway.
The Saints are always watchable as long as Taysom Hill is on the field, however I generally find myself disappointed as they almost never use him as much as needed.
