The New Orleans Saints recently had a former player in running back Jacob Kibodi join the UFL as he would be added to the Memphis Showboats. They will now see another player move to the league, as 2023 undrafted free agent offensive tackle Mark Evans II is set to join the Arlington Renegades.
Evans was given many opportunities to showcase his skills prior to the 2023 NFL Draft, joining the East-West Shrine Bowl, HBCU Legacy Bowl, and being invited to the NFL Scouting Combine all in the span of one offseason. He would bounce on and off the Saints practice squad for a time, but ultimately was unable to find a consistent roster spot there, so he will now test his luck with the UFL instead. The hope would be that he can showcase his talent at that level, and then work his way back into the NFL in the near future if that pans out.
