With the 2026 NFL Draft slated to begin this week, players across the league are ramping up their offseason workouts and conditioning, including members of the New Orleans Saints. Following a Tulane Green Wave scrimmage over the past weekend, Yulman Stadium hosted Saints QB Tyler Shough and several of the team’s current pass catchers for an organized practice.

Saints QB Tyler Shough is working out at Tulane today with some of his teammates. The list of players he’s throwing to includes:TE Moliki MatavaoTE Juwan JohnsonTE Zaire Mitchell-PadenWR Ja’Lynn PolkWR Bub MeansWR Kevin Austin Jr. pic.twitter.com/7rLyg5VsLT
Among those in attendance were three tight ends and three wide receivers currently on New Orleans’ roster. The workout included both veterans and newcomers to the Big Easy, most notably TE Juwan Johnson, who seemingly developed a strong connection with Shough during the QB’s rookie campaign a season ago.
The Saints will head into this year’s draft with strong needs at both WR and TE. Although options will be available for both when New Orleans is on the clock at number eight, it has been heavily speculated that the team may decide to lean toward a defensive playmaker in the first round instead.
Which position do you think the Saints should target in the first round of this year’s draft? Is there a particular player that you are hoping to see rock the black and gold this season? Let us know in the comments below!
