3 San Francisco 49ers that could follow Klint Kubiak to the Saints

A few players may accompany Klint Kubiak, who is leaving the San Francisco 49ers to become the offensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints.

The New Orleans Saints have signed a contract with Klint Kubiak, and he will take over as offensive coordinator. Kubiak has been an NFL coach since 2013, although his most recent role was as the 49ers’ pass game coordinator. The 49ers recently lost in the Super Bowl. Kubiak will now visit New Orleans with his expertise.

While the Saints already have talented players like Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave on the offense, it’s pretty common for players to follow assistant coaches to new teams. That means there’s a chance that Kubiak could bring some of the talented players from the NFC Championship team to New Orleans with him.

Which players could that be? Let’s take a look.

3. 49ers offensive lineman Jon Feliciano could follow Klint Kubiak to Saints

The offensive line is a position group that the Saints will need to improve this offseason. In 2023, the unit wasn’t all that bad, but it could have been better. It would seem prudent for New Orleans to make an investment on lineman this offseason given concerns regarding the futures of James Hurst and Andrus Peat as well as Trevor Penning’s progress.

Since joining the league in 2015, Jon Feliciano has played for the 49ers, Raiders, Buffalo Bills, and New York Giants. He participated in 16 games for San Francisco last season, starting seven of them. He ranked fourth among guards with an 85.4 PFF run-blocking grade for the year. For the Saints, that caliber of run blocking may be very beneficial.
