Syracuse had four players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.

We are breaking down all four picks. This is our analysis of Syracuse defensive lineman Fadil Diggs.

Fadil Diggs adds developmental potential to the Saints' defensive line. Standing out for his size and length, Diggs recorded 120 total tackles, 32.5 tackles for loss, and 15.5 sacks during his college tenure.

His pass-rushing arsenal includes effective counters and the strength to challenge offensive linemen, though he needs to enhance his quickness and consistency to succeed at the professional level. The Saints, known for their ability to develop defensive talent, present an environment where Diggs can refine his technique and leverage his physical attributes.

If he progresses as anticipated, Diggs could evolve into a valuable rotational player, contributing to the Saints' defensive front in various packages.

Diggs joins a deep Saints defensive line rotation that includes veterans like Cameron Jordan and Chase Young. As a seventh-round pick, Diggs will need to showcase his pass-rushing skills and adaptability to the Saints' defensive schemes to earn a spot on the roster. His size and athleticism provide a foundation, but refining his technique and demonstrating consistency will be key. Contributing on special teams and excelling in training camp could bolster his case for inclusion in the defensive line rotation.
