Linebacker Danny Stutsman has officially entered the NFL ranks after being selected by the New Orleans Saints in the 4th round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Known for his energy, versatility, and leadership during his collegiate career at the University of Oklahoma, Stutsman brings both talent and attitude to a Saints defense in need of young playmakers. He was a standout in the Big 12, leading the Sooners in tackles in multiple seasons and earning All-Conference honors for his aggressive and instinctive play.
At 6’4″ and around 240 pounds, Stutsman possesses an impressive combination of size and speed that allows him to cover ground quickly and shed blocks effectively. Scouts praised his football IQ and high motor, traits that helped him consistently disrupt opposing offenses. While some projected him to go earlier, landing in the fourth round gives the Saints excellent value. His leadership and intensity could make him a fan favorite in New Orleans.
For the Saints, who have been looking to inject youth into their linebacker corps, Stutsman could develop into a long-term starter or key rotational player. With proper development, he has the potential to become a cornerstone on defense. His journey in the NFL is just beginning, but the foundation is solid.
