Hergel is in the mix for an offensive line role
There are 60 days separating us from now and the 2025 regular season opener for the New Orleans Saints. Kellen Moore comes into the year as the team’s new head coach. One of the carryovers from last year’s squad trying to make Moore’s roster is reserve offensive lineman Kyle Hergel, who currently wears number 60. Our Saints Player of the Day, here’s a closer look at Hergel’s background and career.
- Name (age): Kyle Hergel (25)
- Hometown: Clarkson, Mississauga, Canada
- Position: Offensive guard
- Height, weight: 6-foot-2, 315 pounds
- College: Boston College Eagles
- Relative Athletic Score: 7.83
- Drafted: Undrafted in 2024 (Saints)
- NFL experience: 1 year
- 2025 salary cap hit: $960,000
Under an entirely new coaching staff, Kyle Hergel faces a stiff challenge to hold on to a roster spot. He’ll need to show improvement as both a pass blocker, a strength in college, and in the running game to hold off the other offensive linemen that the Saints brought in this offseason.
