With 65 days until the New Orleans Saints’ 2026 season opener against the Detroit Lions, rookie right guard Jeremiah Wright is highlighted as the Player of Day 65. Drafted in the fourth round from Auburn, Wright, 24, brings potential upgrades to the Saints’ offensive line despite his inexperience. He played primarily as a right guard in college after transitioning from the defensive line, where he started every game in his last two seasons. The Saints have addressed their offensive line concerns by adding left guard David Edwards in free agency while Wright may challenge the current right guard, Cesar Ruiz.
