Terron Armstead

Armstead went to Cahokia High School in Illinois. He played football and was on the track team. He had a bit of a growing spell when he grew 2 inches and gained 50 lbs between his junior and senior years. He earned All-Southern Seven Conference honors and an All-Class 5A selection. On the track & field team Armstead was named the News-Democrat Track & Field Athlete of the Year after capturing the state title in the shot put event. He also threw the discus. Armstead went south to play football and compete on the track team for the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. In football he was an All-South Western Conference (SWAC) selection during his sophomore, junior, and senior years. On the track team he competed as a shot putter, discus thrower, and and in the hammer throw. When Armstead got to the NFL combine in 2013, he gathered the attention of many after running a 4.71 in the 40 yard dash. It was the fastest time for an offensive lineman since the combine began in 1982. The SAINTS used a third round pick that year to draft Armstead. As a rookie he was the backup to Charles Brown at left tackle. He saw playing time early and started his first game in December and remained the starter for the last four games. Since then, with the exception of when he couldn’t take the field due to injury, he has been our starting left tackle. He has been named to the Pro Bowl more than once and last year he was named the SAINTS Man of the Year which is the team nominee for the Walter Payton award. He is currently building a community center in his home town of Cahokia, Illinois.

Ryan Mack Ramczyk

Ramczyk played football at Stevens Point High School in Wisconsin. He was the team MVP and named it’s Offensive Player of the Year. He was also named First Team All-State in 2011, and was invited to play in the 2012 WFCA All-Star Game. He was offered a scholarship to play at Pitt but he decided to attend a Division-II school instead. It wasn’t until he attended Wisconsin-Stevens Point, did he begin his collegiate football career. He played there for two years before transferring to Wisconsin-Madison. He started all 14 games at left tackle in 2016 in Madison on the way to consensus first-team All-American and All-Big Ten honors. He anchored an offensive line that rushed for 203.1 yards per game. He was ranked as the season's top run blocker among FBS tackles by Pro Football Focus. He allowed just one sack and eight pressures. He had a hip injury which limited his participation in the NFL combine and he did not participate in his Pro Day, yet he entered the draft as one of the top ranked tackles available. The SAINTS selected Ramczyk in the first round with the pick they got from the Patriots in exchange for Brandin Cooks. He became an instant starter. He actually started his first four games at left tackle due to an injury to Terron Armstead. He then started 12 games at right tackle, and was named to the All-Rookie team. Since then he has been an All Pro selection twice. In 2019 he allowed zero sacks and was the highest graded Offensive Tackle by Pro Football Focus.

Jordan Steckler

Steckler started on both offense and defense for three years when he played in high school in Wisconsin. He blocked for an offense that averaged over 32 points as a junior and 29 points as a senior . He was a three-time all-conference selection, and was an All-State honorable mention selection by the Wisconsin high school coaches selection. Steckler was also a standout basketball player in high school. In college he played for Northern Illinois. He started 7 games as a redshirt freshman. In his four years there he played in 47 games, and started in 43 of them. He received many honors both on and off the field. He was an Academic All-MAC and MAC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete selection, and a Semifinalist for the William F. Campbell Trophy, the "Academic Heisman". He was a first team All-MAC selection, he earned the team's Offensive Lineman of the Year honor, and he was named the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete award. While at Northern Illinois he actually had playing time at all four offensive line position except center. If he can show that flexibility at the NFL level, it might give him an advantage over others to make a team.

Margus Hunt

Hunt grew up in Karksi-Nuia. That is a small town in southern Estonia. His sport of choice growing up was throwing the discus, shot put, and hammer. Apparently, he became very good at it. He started training with an Olympic bronze medalist from the 2004 Summer Olympics, Alexsander Tammert. In 2006, at the World Junior Championships in China, Hunt broke a world junior record. Just a few days later, he won the gold medal in shot put and the gold medal in discus becoming the first athlete to win both at the World Junior Championships.
In 2007, Hunt left his home country of Estonia for Dallas, Texas in order to train with Southern Methodist University track and field coach Dave Wollman. Coach Wollman had previously worked with Hunt's former training partner, the Olympic medal winner, Aleksander Tammert. However, by the time he arrived at SMU, the university had dropped its men's track program. Hunt still wanted to be able to train under Wollman, so he tried out for the football team at SMU. When Hunt tried out, his physical power, combined with a 4.7-second in the 40 yard earned him a scholarship from head coach June Jones. He played for the SMU Mustangs for the next four years. In his first 14 games, he blocked eight kicks. He eventually broke the school record for blocked kicks in a season. Before he left SMU, he was the NCAA's all-time leader in blocked field goals with (10) and ranked second in blocked kicks. Hunt, is a now a seven-year NFL veteran. The 6ft 8” defensive end started off in Cincinnati after becoming their 2nd round draft selection in 2013. In seven seasons, (4) for the Bengals and (3) for the Colts, he's played in 91 regular season games with 25 starts. His last four years have been more productive than the first three, which makes sense because he was such a raw talent coming out of SMU. It would be okay with me if the former track event gold medal winner gets his next World Championship with the SAINTS.

Calvin Throckmorton

Throckmorton played on both the offensive line and the defensive line at Newport High School in Bellevue, Washington. As a senior he was credited with 13 pancake blocks on offense and on defense he made 61 tackles with 9 of them for a loss. He started all four years on the defensive line. He was a consensus three-star recruit coming out of high school. His college days were spent playing on the offensive line for the Oregon Ducks. After being redshirted, he started all 12 games at right tackle and he only committed (1) penalty. Throckmorton entered his senior season on the watch list for the Outland Trophy and was named a preseason All-American by the Associated Press. While at Oregon he had 52 consecutive starts mainly at right tackle, however he also had starts at center, left tackle and right guard. Through his last (45) games at Oregon, he only allowed (1) sack in 3,224 snaps. He was a first team All-Pac 12 selection, and second team All-American for two years. He was also a first team Pac 12 All-academic selection. He was also named the fifth-best offensive line prospect for the 2020 NFL Draft by USA TODAY. It was a surprise to many that he was not drafted, and the SAINTS swopped in and got him to sign as an undrafted free agent immediately after the draft. The SAINTS were willing to give him a signing bonus as well as a $110,000. guaranteed salary to get him to come to New Orleans. With the ability to play multiple offensive line positions, it is hard to imagine he won't be with some NFL team this year, if not the SAINTS.

:smilielol: Those uniforms are frightening indeed, and thanks for the warning.
:eek:

Calvin Throckmorton cannot possibly be a massive offensive lineman. He has to be a little guy with a.monocle playing a part in a black and white film with the 3 Stooges, W. C. Fields, or the Marx Brothers. I hope he makes it because he has one of the greatest names in football history. :9:

Adrian Magee

Magee played high school football about 70 miles north of New Orleans in Franklinton Louisiana. He joined the team there the year after they had won the Class 6A state championship. He was an all-state selection at Franklinton High, and was considered a four-star recruit when he signed to play ball for LSU. His cousin is running back Terrence Magee. Adrian was a four-year letterman at LSU, where he earned the nickname "Jiggly Puff" . He started at three different positions on the offensive line during his collegiate career. A video of him executing two pancake blocks within a single play against Vanderbilt went viral. Before he left LSU he had played in 40 career games, starting 20 contests at left guard, left tackle and right tackle. Last year in the LSU championship season, Magee started all 15 games mostly at left guard but he did start two games at left tackle. He earned All-SEC second-team honors. He graduated from LSU and was signed as an undrafted free agent by the SAINTS.

WILLIAM BARNETT CLAPP

Clapp went to Brother Martin High School in New Orleans. He was a four-star prospect coming out of high school. It was no surprise when Clapp decided to go to LSU since his family has deep ties to the Tiger program. His father, Tommy was a former defensive tackle there and his brother, Matt, walked on as a fullback. As a redshirt freshman in 2015, Clapp started all 12 games for LSU and did not allow a sack all season. He followed that up his sophomore year with 11 starts, he was named to the All-SEC team, and again he did not allow a sack that year. As a junior he started all 13 games and for the second year in a row he was named to the All-SEC football team. As a three year starter at LSU he showed his versatility on the offensive line as he started all 36 games that he appeared in (13) at center, (12) at left guard, and (11) at right guard. He was on the conference Academic honor roll and he graduated with a degree in sports administration. After his junior season, he decided to forgo his senior year of eligibility and enter the 2018 NFL draft. He was drafted by the SAINTS in the seventh round. Last year he appeared in 14 games and started three.
