The New Orleans Saints have officially decided their yearly representative to announce their draft selections on Day 2. Former Saints right tackle Ryan Ramzyck, recently-retired, has been selected to announce the picks this year as his career is set to come to a close shortly. Right now, the Saints own three picks on the second day of the 2025 NFL draft: No. 40 overall in Round 2, plus Nos. 71 and 93 in Round 3.
The three-time All-Pro out of Wisconsin had been dealing with a degenerative knee issue for the last couple seasons, ultimately leading to him calling it a career. Before the start of this offseason, Ramzyck agreed to a salary reduction, taking his $18 million base salary to veteran minimum to facilitate his future departure.
As a key member of the infamous 2017 draft class, Ramzyck was a staple piece in the team’s success over the course of his career. Teaming up with Saint legend Terron Armstead, the two together became the league’s best tackle duo in a short period of time. Paving the way for guys like Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram II, while protecting the front side of a future Hall of Famer, Ramzyck deserves all the praise in the world for the job he did in New Orleans. A man of few words, who led by example each and everyday.
He’ll now get the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in front of his home crowd in Green Bay.
