The Saints selected Trautman in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 105th overall.
Trautman arrives to New Orleans -- following the team's draft day trade with the Vikings -- from the small school ranks, but the former Dayton standout brings a legitimate NFL frame at 6-foot-5, 255 pounds. He also possesses uncommon quickness (6.78-second three-cone drill), though his 4.8-second 40-yard dash implies limited seam-stretching ability. For a relatively big tight end, Trautman could prove a nifty underneath target once Jared Cook's tenure with the Saints concludes.
