Recruiting News: Prior to the 2024 training camp, the Saints add a UFL champion…
To strengthen their wide receiver depth, the Saints signed UFL champion Kevin Austin Jr. two days before to the start of training camp.
The Birmingham Stallions wideout previously spent time on the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad (2022) and had 15 receptions, 253 yards and two touchdowns this year.
His best game was against the Memphis Showboats on May 4 when he finished with four receptions for 108 yards and scored a 79-yard touchdown while reaching a max speed of 19.8 mph, the fastest for a ball-carrier in the UFL during Week 6, according to Reel Analytics.
A.T. Perry, a second-year pro selected in the sixth round of 2023, could be ready for a breakout season after he only saw 18 targets in 10 games last season but had 12 receptions, 246 yards (20.5 yards per catch) and four touchdowns. Wilson played for the Dolphins last season and had 22 receptions, 296 yards, and three touchdowns. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is part of the New Orleans training camp. While the Saints are set at the top two wide receiver spots with Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, they should have an open competition for the No. 3 spot.
Lions All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown’s older brother, St. Brown, is unlikely to make the team. In his 60 career games (28 starts), he has 928 receiving yards.
