New Orleans Saints right tackle Taliese Fuaga defied the sophomore slump, delivering another great season despite battling multiple injuries. The 2024 first-round pick, who played left tackle as a rookie, returned to his natural right tackle position in 2025. He allowed just four sacks and 28 total pressures on 530 pass-blocking snaps, committing only seven penalties across 814 total snaps. Fuaga appeared in 13 games, missing four due to a knee injury, a back flare-up, and a high ankle sprain, solidifying his role in the Saints' future tackle tandem.
