Keeshawn Silver brings NFL-sized power, but his 2026 status is clouded by injury
In 2025 at USC, Keeshawn Silver played 13 games and logged 20 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 sack, flashing the kind of size-and-strength profile teams want inside at 6-4, 330 pounds[8][9]. He has a reputation as a powerful, leverage-driven run defender who can anchor, shed, and chase, but evaluators also note inconsistent hand usage and limited pass-rush polish[5]. The big wrinkle: after signing with the Saints in 2026, he was dealing with an undisclosed injury and later reached an injury settlement, so his immediate availability is the main question mark[11][15].
