        RB Devin Neal Joins the Saints With Wide Open Opportunity

        The Saints selected Kansas RB Devin Neal with the 184th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Neal drew college interest as a football and baseball player. He broke out as a true freshman on the gridiron, entering the starting lineup in Week 2 and finishing with 159-705-8. He followed up that season with three straight 1,000+ yard campaigns for the Jayhawks. He added 16 TDs on the ground in each of the past two seasons. Neal checks a lot of boxes: consistent rushing production, promising receiving tape, NFL size, and make-you-miss ability. His vision and rushing tempo also pop on film. At the NFL Combine, he showed below-average speed with a 4.58 forty time and a 1.59 ten-yard split. He excelled in the jumps, though, with a 37.5” broad and a 124" vertical.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Neal was productive for Kansas over his entire career.

        As a banger between the tackles, he offers a compliment to the New Orleans Saints that they looked for in RB Kendre Miller.

        As a sixth-round pick, Neal will have a climb to make the roster, but he has the talent to make an impact with opportunity.

        Dynasty Impact

        Neal has upside if he makes the team and gets some snaps.

        Neal may not offer RB2 upside, but he could score TDs from close and get a few tough carries.

        Long term, he is a candidate to outperform his draft positin

        Worth a late round pick in rookie drafts.
