The New Orleans Saints are kicking off their offseason program with a bang this weekend, as 55 players gather at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center for the team's rookie minicamp. With two days of practices on tap, these young hopefuls—from draft picks to undrafted free agents and tryout players—will get a golden chance to impress the coaching staff and fight for a spot on the roster.
We've broken down the full depth chart by position, giving you a clear look at who's who. Names in bold have already been drafted or signed a contract, while the rest are trying out for a shot at a deal.
Quarterbacks (3): Braylon Braxton, Easton Stick (veteran), Kyle Trask (veteran)
The Saints are bringing in some experienced arms alongside the rookie talent, adding depth and mentorship to the QB room.
Offensive Line (9): Jeremiah Wright, Alan Herron, Alex Wollschlaeger, Easton Kilty, Joshua Braun, Mason Randolph, Matthew Bedford, Bob Schick, Davis Heinzen
A big group here, with plenty of bodies to shore up the trenches—critical for any team's success.
Wide Receivers (8): Jordyn Tyson, Bryce Lance, Barion Brown, Damien Alford, Brock Rechsteiner, Javon Gipson, Kaleb Blaha, Mekhi Mews
Speed and playmaking will be on display as these receivers look to catch the coaches' eyes.
Special Teams (4): Mason Shipley (kicker), Younghoe Koo (veteran kicker), Tristan O'Brien (long snapper), Caden Noonkester (punter)
A mix of veterans and newcomers, with Koo providing a proven leg for the kicking game.
Edge Rushers (3): Mike Heldman, Malakai Williams, Charles Esters III
A smaller group, but these pass-rushers will be hungry to make an impact off the edge.
Defensive Line (6): Christen Miller, Keeshawn Silver, Jay'Viar Suggs, Coziah Izzard, Kam Hamilton, Ty Malone
Strength in the interior is key, and this unit has size and potential to develop.
Linebackers (4): Brayden Johnson, Johnny Chaney, Tah Banda, Sam Brumfield
These defenders will need to show versatility in both run support and coverage.
Safeties (4): Lorenzo Styles Jr., Elliott Davison, JT Woods (veteran), Eric Butler
Woods brings NFL experience, while the others look to prove their worth in the secondary.
Cornerbacks (8): TJ Hall, DaShawn Jones, Jeremiah McClendon, Dalys Beanum, Jayden Price, A'Marion McCoy, Jakari Foster, Solomon Barnes
A deep group of defensive backs, all competing for a chance to lock down receivers.
After minicamp wraps up, a few of those tryout players could land a contract and earn an extended look during training camp this summer. The Saints still have one roster spot open once undrafted free agent Zxavian Harris signs, but don't be surprised if some players on the fringe are let go as the coaching staff fine-tunes the roster. It's all about finding the right fit for the season ahead.
