Roach has been with the team since being drafted in 2020, and has played in a total of 29 games over the past three seasons, with five of those games being starts.

In 2022, Roach appeared in 13 games and recorded 26 total tackles and one sack. Despite averaging under 39% of the team's defensive snaps during his time with the Saints, he has proven to be a reliable depth option in the interior defensive line.
