The New Orleans Saints will have one of their 2024 undrafted free agents heading to the UFL, as running back Jacob Kibodi will be joining the Memphis Showboats, as first reported by James Larsen of UFL Newsroom. Kibodi has moved around a bit recently, as he would first sign on with the Cleveland Browns practice squad ahead of Week 16, before now signing with the Showboats ahead of their 2025 season.
Kibodi was solid in his preseason reps with the Saints, and had 12 rushes for 59 yards and 2 touchdowns in their third matchup of that span against the Tennessee Titans. Unfortunately he was not a player the Saints kept around long, despite a brief stint on the practice squad he ultimately did not stick on the active roster at any point.
He will now have the opportunity to join the new-look UFL formed last spring, and work with some other quality players while hopefully getting substantial reps and having the chance to show what he can truly do.
