One of the biggest points of focus for the New Orleans Saints over the past few draft cycles has been in the trenches, specifically at offensive tackle. With the team looking to build through productive offensive line play, especially now with Kellen Moore in charge, it is clear that they will likely continue to try and find quality backups in the event of injury, as well as potentially looking into their right guard spot long-term.
An option that they have recently been linked to is Louisiana offensive lineman Jax Harrington, with whom the team has been in contact, among three others being reported.
Harrington is a very impressive prospect, with his versatility being one of his most impressive traits. In four collegiate seasons, he posted 2,304 reps at right guard, 598 at right tackle, 38 at center, and 24 at left guard. Nearly all of those right tackle snaps came in 2025, his senior year, where he was certainly showing a little bit of a struggle at times, but did a quality job overall.
In 854 snaps, 423 of which were pass blocking, Harrington allowed 21 pressures and 4 sacks, but did not have a single penalty to his name despite the position change. For three straight seasons, he has played 700+ snaps for the Ragin' Cajuns and has continued to show that he is an impressive piece with NFL potential. In his two seasons prior, he played as a primary right guard, and in a combined 1,443 offensive snaps, did not allow a single sack, gave up only 15 pressures, and was penalized 5 total times.
While he is a seventh-year player, he is still only going to be 25 entering this 2026 NFL season, so he has plenty left to give at the next level. With plenty of college reps to show for it, he may enter as competition for a starting job somewhere around the NFL, with the Saints among the interested parties.
