Saints Sign UDFA RB Marcus Yarns to a Contract
The New Orleans Saints signed Deleware RB Marcus Yarns to an Undrafted Free Agent Contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. A zero-star recruit, Yarns spent all four of his seasons at Delaware. Now, most small school players with an NFL future have eye-popping stats at their level of competition. Yarns never had a 1,000-yard rushing season, but his receiving ability (including 13 receiving TDs over the past three years) and athleticism show NFL potential. At the Combine, the 193-pounder recorded a 4.45 forty, a 37.5" vertical, and a 122" broad jump. Those were all 74th percentile or better finishes among Combine RBs since 1999. His long speed is evident on tape, but a lack of size figures to limit his NFL workloads.
