College football is in full swing now as we enter Week 4 of the season. Fans across the country are beginning to get a sense of true contenders versus the pretenders. However, regardless of game results, these are the players I believe that Saints fans should be watching during the slate on Saturday.
Keldric Faulk
Auburn’s edge rusher Keldric Faulk has all the intangibles NFL scouts want to see out of an elite player in the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers will be seeking their first 4-0 start since 2019, but standing in their way is #11 Oklahoma. Faulk has just one sack on the season thus far, but his ability to get after John Mateer will be a huge factor this weekend.
Denzel Boston
The 6’4” wideout of the Huskies has 10 receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown through the team’s first two games. He faces a rivalry matchup Saturday night when Washington takes on Washington State in the Apple Cup. Saints fans should love Boston’s height and hands, as the current roster lacks size at the WR position.
Matayo Uiagalelei
Oregon’s Matayo Uiagalelei is part of a tremendous defensive line in Eugene this year. The 6’5” edge has already earned three sacks this season and has a good opportunity to add to that total when the Ducks host in-state rival Oregon State Saturday afternoon. Keep an eye on Uiagalelei while he rockets up draft boards as the season progresses.
