New Orleans Saints Sign Former Alabama Prep Standout Chandler Brewer

The New Orleans Saints have bolstered their offensive line by signing offensive tackle Chandler Brewer, a former standout at Florence High School in Alabama. The team announced the acquisition on Saturday, following the waiver of guard Nouri Nouili, an undrafted rookie from Nebraska. citeturn0search1

Brewer’s addition comes in the wake of offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk being placed on reserve/physically unable to perform on July 18, effectively sidelining him for the season after offseason knee surgery. Brewer was available after his release from the Jacksonville Jaguars on July 16; he had been placed on injured reserve on June 14. citeturn0search1

Since entering the NFL in 2019 as an undrafted rookie with the Los Angeles Rams, Brewer has accumulated experience across multiple teams. He played in seven games in 2019 and six games, with four starts, in 2022. Brewer opted out of the 2020 season under the NFL’s plan during the coronavirus pandemic and spent 2021 on the Rams’ practice squad, culminating in a Super Bowl LVI victory. citeturn0search1

At Florence High School, Brewer earned All-State second-team honors as a senior, contributing to the Falcons’ 6A Region 8 championship and a semifinal appearance in the AHSAA playoffs in 2014. He continued his football career at Middle Tennessee, where he was a four-year starter. Notably, Brewer earned All-Conference USA recognition as a right guard in 2018, despite undergoing six weeks of radiation treatments after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. citeturn0search1
