Saints Coach 'Fired Up' About One Rookie Receiver — And It's Not Jordyn Tyson

While first-round WR Jordyn Tyson steals headlines, it's another Saints rookie who's impressing Kellen Moore early in camp.

The New Orleans Saints, after selecting top draft prospect Jordyn Tyson, have a different wide receiver catching their attention during training camp: Barion Brown. The fifth-round pick from North Dakota State and later LSU has impressed head coach Kellen Moore with his impactful performances in the SEC. Moore praised Brown's ability to execute plays in a number of years, not just during his LSU tenure.

Known for his speed and receiving skills, Brown's consistent production on kickoff returns has earned him first-team All-American and second-team All-SEC honors. With Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson as the team's primary receivers, Brown remains an untapped resource who could potentially establish himself as a key playmaker in the Saints' offense.
