Saints undrafted free agents: USC defensive tackle Keeshawn Silver
The New Orleans Saints signed USC defensive tackle Keeshawn Silver as an undrafted free agent after the 2026 NFL Draft. Silver, who stands at 6-feet, 3 inches and weighs 315 pounds, has the size and agility to play multiple spots up front.
The New Orleans Saints addressed their need for a defensive tackle during the 2026 NFL Draft by selecting Georgia Bulldogs defensive tackle Christen Miller in the second round. Although they didn't draft another defensive lineman, they signed three undrafted interior linemen, including former USC Trojans defensive tackle Keeshawn Silver. Silver, who is 6-feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 315 pounds, has a 40-yard dash time of 4.90 seconds. His strengths include an outstanding wingspan, nice agility, and good upper and lower body power. However, he needs to improve his leverage to maximize his strength and has shown little as a pass rusher. The Saints are looking to improve their defensive line rotation, and Silver is a candidate to grab a spot if he can improve his game. The team has also signed Zxavian Harris, another undrafted defensive tackle, but his legal issues may impact his availability.
