The New Orleans Saints are ready to bounce back this season. In turn, they will need some guys to step up in 2023. Young offensive tackle Trevor Penning is a key candidate for that in New Orleans.
After an injury-riddled rookie year with the Saints, he looks to be ready for training camp.
Saints head coach Dennis Allen had a gleaming report for the young OT.
“If we can keep him healthy, the sky’s the limit in terms of what he can do,” Allen said, via Luke Johnson of NOLA.com. “He’s big, he’s physical, I love his play demeanor. He’s athletic for a guy his size. We’re excited about the player.”
Expect Penning to be the starter at left tackle for the Saints this season. James Hurst was a starter-level player when asked to fill in, but Penning provides more upside.
They did spend a first-round pick on him, so they must get a legitimate return on that investment.
Penning is a high-motor, energetic offensive lineman that the Saints hope can fuel some more offensive success this season and beyond.
