After an injury-plagued rookie year, Kendre Miller may be a perfect fit for the new Saints offense

By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI

The New Orleans Saints used the eighth choice in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft on Kendre Miller, a running back out of TCU. The fourth running back drafted, Miller was the 71st overall selection.

In his first two collegiate seasons at TCU, Miller averaged 7.3 per carry but had just 1,011 combined rushing yards and 10 scores in shared duty. He'd take over as the primary back in 2022 and was a key weapon for the National Runner-up Horned Frogs, rushing for 1,399 yards and 17 touchdowns on his way to 1st Team All-Big 12 honors.

Miller, along with free-agent addition Jamaal Williams, were expected to join Alvin Kamara and form a lethal backfield trio for the Saints last season. The results fell far short of the expectations. New Orleans averaged just 102.5 rushing yards per game as a team, ranking 22nd in the NFL. Their average of 3.6 per carry was the second worst in the league. Woes along the offensive line were a major contributor for those struggles, but New Orleans backs also performed at a disappointing level.

Kamara, who missed three games because of suspension and sat another out, finished with just 694 rushing yards and five touchdowns. His 53.4 rushing yards per game and 3.9 per carry were the second lowest of his career. He caught 75 passes, much better than the previous two years, but those resulted in only 466 yards and one score.

New Orleans Saints game previews: Week 14 at New York Giants

We’re picking up our series previewing every game on the New Orleans Saints’ schedule in 2024 with the New York Giants, who the Saints will visit after coming out of their bye week for a home game with the Los Angeles Rams. It remains to be seen if the Giants can compete with their NFC East rivals this year, but if the Saints hope to get into the playoff picture they won’t have the luxury of dropping a loss here.

The Saints haven’t played a game against the Giants at MetLife Stadium since the 2018 season, and a lot has changed for both teams. Eli Manning and Saquon Barkley aren’t in the...

Just how good can the New Orleans Saints running backs be? That’s a question Klint Kubiak is setting out to answer by installing his new offense, which will utilize more zone blocking concepts to open lanes and get offensive linemen out in space.

The Saints were below-average in every rushing metric last year, with Taysom Hill’s 401 rushing yards accounting for more of the team’s 21st-ranked total than either Jamaal Williams or Kendre Miller. But it’ll be Alvin Kamara taking point again. So how does that group stack up around the league?

In our most recent CSC poll, we asked what are you most looking forward to seeing between now and the start of the season for the New Orleans Saints?

After 318 votes, the overwhelming winner was the new offense under first year offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak with 83% of the votes. The Saints offensive play-calling was much maligned the last two seasons, and the team finally responded by letting go of long-time offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael. The Saints brought in Kubiak after a season as the passing game coordinator for the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers. The Saints still...

Predictions for the Saints 2024 offensive line

The New Orleans Saints have had to deal with a rash of injuries over the last few seasons, especially to the offensive line.

Andrus Peat struggled to stay healthy, Erik McCoy has missed time, Trevor Penning missed his entire rookie season, and now Ryan Ramcyzk’s status for 2024 and beyond is in question. Now that Peat has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, that has left a big gap in the offensive line right after the long time Saint had arguably the best season of his career. The Saints worked to address this by drafting Nick Saldiveri in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft but knew...

Carl Granderson has been a productive player in the New Orleans Saints’ rotation at defensive end going into 2023, but he leveled up last season. Granderson led the team with 8.5 sacks and 20 quarterback hits, plus 14 tackles for loss. They’ll be counting on him to match those numbers again in 2024. Before we get to his goals, let’s get to know him a little better:

The Saints are hoping for a bounce-back year from Cameron Jordan along with a big impact from free agent pickup Chase Young, but it’s likely going to be Granderson shouldering the heaviest load this season. He’s the most...

The Head Coach of the New Orleans Saints says the new offense will be significantly different than that of previous seasons as the team continues to implement it through OTAs.

The cornerback out of Stanford has had a solid start to his career, but according to the NFL, he’s an under appreciated asset.

The defensive line was already thin before Kpassagnon went down with a torn Achilles earlier in the offseason. We take a look at the next steps for the group.

A look at the history between the Saints and Falcons rivalry

The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons rivalry is one of the most intense relationships in the NFL. The two teams and their fanbase just plain hate each other, and there’s no love lost.

It all started in the fall of 1967, when the two teams would face each other for the first time. It would be a 24-27 victory in Tulane Stadium for the Saints. However, as with every Saints - Falcons matchup there’s been, it wasn’t without its fair share of the dramatic. The Falcons were leading at half 21-10, but only managed three second half points. The Saints went into the second half with some...

96 days till Saints season opener: Every player to wear No. 96

There are 96 days to go until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 season, so we’re listing every player to wear the No. 96 jersey in black and gold. And the list starts with Carl Granderson — last year’s breakout defensive end is by far the most-accomplished player to wear this jersey in Saints history, but he’s far from the first player to put it on.

The team will be leaning hard on Granderson again in 2024, after he led the Saints defense in sacks during the 2023 campaign. Hopefully the signing of Chase Young in free agency can take some pressure off his shoulders, but he’s shown before he’s up to the task.

With 96 days to go until kickoff, here’s a look back at each player to use No. 96 with the Saints (via

Tyrann Mathieu makes the cut for list of NFL's 11 best safeties

Shoutout to Tyrann Mathieu. The New Orleans Saints safety is aging like fine wine, and he earned a spot on Touchdown Wire’s list of the 11 best safeties in the NFL for his efforts in 2023. He’ll continue to be a major playmaker and leader in the secondary for New Orleans, but here’s why TD Wire’s Doug Farrar argues Mathieu is so special:

Farrar ranked Mathieu 8th-best among his peers, alongside NFC South rivals like Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (No. 2; Winfield is also the highest-paid safety in the NFL), Atlanta Falcons standout Jessie Bates III (No. 5), and Carolina...

New Orleans Saints linebackers Demario Davis and Willie Gay Jr. made the list for the NFL’s 32 best linebackers at Pro Football Focus. This made them one of 11 teams to place multiple players on the list. Gay’s skillset has already sparked some excitement this offseason, and seeing the pairing included in exclusive company should only fan the flames.

It is no surprise Davis found himself near the top of the list. He has been one of the best in the NFL and a perennial All-Pro player for a half-decade. He comes in as the third best linebacker in PFF’s list. Even at 35, Davis continues to be...

The New Orleans Saints did not gain much from the releases of Michael Thomas and Jameis Winston taking effect on June 1, but they did get a little more breathing-room. So where do they stand against the rest of the NFL in unspent salary cap space?

If the Saints want to make many more moves before training camp, they’ll have to get creative. Affording more big additions might be beyond them. But they do have enough cap space to add a couple of veterans or pull off a trade in the weeks ahead, if they’re interested.

Here is where the Saints stand among all 32 teams, thanks to numbers from...
