As the countdown to the 2025 NFL season continues, the spotlight shines on Carl Granderson, the New Orleans Saints Player of the Day. The 28-year-old defensive end is gearing up for his seventh season with the Saints, donning the number 96 jersey. His performance last season marked him as one of the few bright spots in a struggling Saints defense, effectively showcasing his talent and potential.

Granderson's journey began at Grant Union High School in Sacramento before he took his game to the University of Wyoming. Over four years, he accumulated impressive stats, including 17.5 sacks and 36 tackles for loss. Despite going undrafted in 2019, his resilience has led him to secure a significant role and a salary cap hit of $6.48 million for the 2025 season. As he continues to grow, his contributions will be crucial for the Saints as they aim to bounce back strong this upcoming season.
