Coming into the 2019 season, there was plenty of concern regarding holes in the New Orleans Saints lineup because of the lack of picks in the draft.

While draftees Erik McCoy and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson have been getting plenty of play time and making good impressions in their rookie campaigns, some of the most interesting rookies on the New Orleans Saints’ roster were the ones who weren’t drafted at all.

With injuries to Sheldon Rankins and concern about dependable backups behind Marcus Davenport and any receivers besides Michael Thomas, there was plenty of need for new players to come in and make their presence felt.

New Orleans satisfied some of their needs in free agency, but a lot of the interest arose around a handful of undrafted rookies in training camp.

Some of the most popular names that kept coming up in conversation were Devine Ozigbo, Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Porter Gustin.

None of those players made their way onto the active roster, and aren’t the names that you’ll see on this list. Instead, these three players are ones who had potential and have been productive in their limited opportunities.

So, who have been the best undrafted free agents for the Saints so far this season?
