Countdown to Kickoff: Kyler Baugh is the Saints Player of Day 69​

We’ve got 69 days to go until the New Orleans Saints open up their 2024 regular season, which makes the current owner of the No. 69 jersey our Saints Player of the Day. That’s rookie defensive lineman Kyler Baugh, so let’s get to know him better before diving into realistic goals for him in 2024:

• Name (Age): Kyler Baugh (22)
• Position: Defensive tackle
• Height, weight: 6-foot-2, 305 pounds
• Relative Athletic Score: 8.56
• 2024 salary cap hit: $798,333
• College: Minnesota
• Drafted: Undrafted in 2024 (New Orleans Saints)
• NFL experience: Rookie

The Saints signed Baugh as an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota, guaranteeing just $25,000 in his rookie contract. For perspective, former Colorado tight end Dallin Holker led the team with $235,000 in guarantees. Baugh was a solid starter at Minnesota the last two years (where he was teammates with safety Jordan Howden, who the Saints drafted last year) but he’s facing a tough road to making the cut in New Orleans.
