Countdown to Kickoff: Trevor Penning is the Saints Player of Day 70​

We’re counting down the days to kickoff for the New Orleans Saints’ 2024 season, and with 70 days to go that makes Trevor Penning our Saints Player of the Day. What does No. 70 need to do to salvage a rough start to his career in 2024? Let’s break it down.

• Name (Age): Trevor Penning (30)
• Position: Offensive tackle
• Height, weight: 6-foot-7, 325 pounds
• Relative Athletic Score: 9.95
• 2024 salary cap hit: $3,857,268
• College: Northern Iowa
• Drafted: 1st round in 2022 (New Orleans Saints)
• NFL experience: 3 years
