New Orleans Saints
The team hopes for significant defensive line improvements next season.
Going into the 2023 offseason, the defensive line was one of the weakest position groups on the New Orleans Saints. The run defense was lacking any progression, the pass rush was seeing minimal sack numbers, and high-potential players were disappointing.
