Jason Kelce Calls Saints’ Draft Pick a “Beast” in Surprising Endorsement

The New Orleans Saints appear to have aced the 2024 NFL Draft with their selection of seven promising players, drawing praise from analysts and insiders alike for their strategic picks.

Among the impressed is retired Philadelphia Eagles icon and The New Heights Podcast co-host Jason Kelce. On a recent episode, alongside his brother, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, Jason voiced his admiration for the Saints’ top choice, Taliese Fuaga from Oregon State. The brothers’ conversation highlighted Fuaga’s exceptional performance on the field.

Jason, excited about Fuaga’s potential, remarked on a specific moment in the young tackle’s gameplay, “I caught a glimpse of one of his pass sets and was instantly hooked,” he confessed, noting a particular play that showcased Fuaga dominating his opposition. “That’s when I realized… Taliese Fuaga is an absolute monster,” he added, with Travis echoing the sentiment about Fuaga’s impressive talents.

Although humorously admitting they hadn’t initially caught which team drafted Fuaga, Jason Kelce’s reaction to the Oregon State standout’s highlights is telling. Given Kelce’s distinguished 13-year career in the NFL trenches, his awe at Fuaga’s skills is a significant endorsement.

For Saints fans, Kelce’s excitement is a beacon of hope. That a player of his expertise and position recognizes immense talent in Fuaga suggests that the Saints may indeed have secured a game-changing athlete in their draft class.

If the Kelce brothers’ reactions are any indication, the New Orleans Saints and their supporters have a lot to look forward to with Taliese Fuaga joining their ranks.
