Training camp is well underway for the New Orleans Saints, and with that, we have a chance to look at both new players and those who have been on the team for a long time. With this, all players get a chance to prepare for the NFL preseason and regular season, and those newer players get a chance to prove themselves worthy of a roster spot. However, those who have already solidified their spot use this time as a period to get back into the scheme of things.

One player who has now been delegated with veteran status is right tackle Ryan Ramczyk, who is now entering his seventh season with the Saints. The former protector of legendary quarterback Drew Brees now looks to continue his impressive streak of great seasons protecting Derek Carr. Ramczyk has been a staple of a New Orleans offensive line that has been between good and great for the large majority of his career, and that is in large part due to his success. This lands him at No. 4 on our list of the top 25 most important Saints entering 2023.  In this series we take a look at the following topics for each of the members in the top 25:

  • Recap of their 2022 season
  • Projecting their 2023 success
  • What is the biggest question mark for them in 2023?

Firstly, let’s get a look at some background information for Ryan Ramczyk to get an idea of who he is on paper.
