The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a contract with former Houston Roughnecks Jack Heflin. The Illinois native enjoyed a decent college career with three years at Northern Iowa and one year at Iowa.

Heflin signed with the Green Bay Packers after his college career before being cut. He also had a very brief stint with the Giants before suiting up for the Roughnecks. Heflin got a chance to shine at the XFL and took home All-XFL team honors.
Heflin has a long journey ahead of him to figure out the practice squad or opening day roster, but if he’s able, it’ll be a great story!
