A classic UDFA dart throw with minimal immediate roster impact for New Orleans. Five headlines covered the signing, mostly framing it as a curiosity piece. Donaldson's Ohio State pedigree is the strongest signal, but he's a raw, unproven commodity. Fans are mildly intrigued but realistic — this is a camp body competition, nothing more. Expect Donaldson to battle for a practice squad spot at best.
