The New Orleans Saints are actively scouting wide receiver talent ahead of the NFL Draft, with two notable prospects scheduled for visits this weekend. According to reports, the Saints will host receivers Ted Hurst and Omar Cooper on Saturday as they evaluate potential additions to their offensive arsenal.
Hurst, a productive playmaker from Georgia State, is coming off a strong collegiate career where he amassed 127 receptions for 1,965 yards and 15 touchdowns over the past two seasons. His pre-draft tour includes a Friday meeting with the Atlanta Falcons, indicating several teams are taking a closer look at the former Valdosta State transfer.
Meanwhile, Omar Cooper brings a championship pedigree to his visit, having starred for the Indiana Hoosiers during their national title run last season. Widely considered a higher-rated prospect than Hurst in many draft projections, Cooper is also meeting with the Washington Commanders on Friday, highlighting his sought-after status.
These visits underscore the Saints' focus on bolstering their receiving corps, a key area for any team looking to compete in the pass-heavy NFC South. As the draft approaches, these evaluations could shape the future of New Orleans' offensive firepower.
