The New Orleans Saints walked away from the 2026 NFL Draft with one of the best wide receivers on the board: Arizona State star Jordyn Tyson.
Three rounds later, New Orleans selected North Dakota State's Bryce Lance, and then, in the sixth round, LSU's Barion Brown.
Somewhat surprisingly, it's actually Brown who has head coach Kellen Moore fired up during camp.
His biggest impact, though, came in the return game, where he racked up 576 kickoff return yards, including three returned for touchdowns — production that earned him first-team All-American and second-team All-SEC honors.
There, he totaled 532 receiving yards and one touchdown on 53 catches, along with 445 kickoff return yards and a kickoff returned for a touchdown.
