Future HOF OL Jason Kelce gave an awesome description of Fuaga.
Speaking on his podcast New Heights with his brother Travis Kelce, former Eagles star center Jason Kelce — who retired after the 2023 season — went off on an unprompted rant about one of his favorite players in the recent NFL draft. That player was Taliese Fuaga, whom the Saints selected No. 14 overall out of Oregon State. — Jeff Nowak
It’s clear that Kelce was excited about Fuaga. He thinks he’s a gritty blocker that plays with fire. That shows up on film, too.
“There’s like, some guys that even when they’re playing the highlight on draft day, you can be like, ‘oh, yea”… There was a tackle that got picked early out of Oregon State and I saw one pass set and I was like, ‘yep, oh yea.’ And then I saw him just completely demoralizing people after that, and I was like, ‘god****, this dude is a f****** beast. Taliese Fuaga, holy s***… for some reason he was one guy where I had watched zero tape and I only saw the highlight tapes on draft day and I was like, damn, I like the way that pass set looks, I like the way he’s redirecting, I like the way he’s finishing, I mean, very limited sample size, but I feel pretty confident, that’s dude is going to be beast. I’m going on record right now.”” — Kelce
Of course, the language is filled with emotion from Kelce. That’s just how he shows passion, and he knows plenty about OL play.
The former Eagles offensive lineman was a seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time All-Pro. He will go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
For Fuaga, this praise is extremely impressive.
