Saints Eye Penn State RB Nick Singleton for 2026 Draft

Despite Penn State's disappointing 2025 campaign, running back Nick Singleton is generating interest from the New Orleans Saints ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Singleton, a 6-foot-219-pound back, finished his career with 3,461 rushing yards and 45 touchdowns, holding the program record for rushing scores. While his 2025 stats dipped to 549 yards, his 13 touchdowns were a career-high.

The Saints are exploring mid-round options after signing Travis Etienne, citing concerns over Alvin Kamara's decline and the injury-prone nature of Kendre Miller. Known for his explosive speed and power, Singleton is viewed as a potential value pick, though scouts note he needs to improve his vision and cutback lane recognition.
