A Wisconsin-bred left tackle who earned All-Big 12 honors before signing with New Orleans as an undrafted free agent.
Easton Kilty is an offensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints who spent his college career protecting quarterbacks at left tackle, first at North Dakota and then at Kansas State. At 6-foot-6 and 307 pounds, the Stratford, Wisconsin native is expected to kick inside to guard as he fights for a roster spot with the Saints.
Path to the league
Kilty began his college career at North Dakota before transferring to Kansas State, where he became a four-year starter and spent his final two seasons at left tackle. He went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and signed with the Saints shortly afterward.
Career highlights
In his final season at Kansas State in 2024, Kilty started all 13 games at left tackle, earning All-Big 12 second-team honors from the league's coaches and drawing votes for Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year.
2025 season recap
Kilty spent his entire rookie season on the Saints' practice squad as he worked to add the versatility needed to compete at guard in the NFL, a projected position switch given his shorter arms relative to his height.
