With two field-stretching and explosive athletes at wide receiver already, the New Orleans Saints should be eyeing big-bodied, physical prospects at the position during the NFL Scouting Combine. 

With pass-catchers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed set to be at the top of the position again in 2025, the Saints should be looking for a complementary wide receiver to add to the group. This year’s NFL Draft provides several options. 

On Saturday, wideouts will hit the field of Lucas Oil Stadium to showcase their abilities. Here are a few of the numerous receivers New Orleans should be watching. 

Ole Miss WR Tre Harris

  • 6-foot-3
  • 210 pounds
  • 2024 stats: 60 receptions, 1,030 receiving yards, 7 touchdown catches

Iowa State WR Jayden Higgins

  • 6-foot-3
  • 217 pounds
  • 2024 stats: 87 receptions, 1,183 receiving yards, 9 touchdown catches

Stanford WR Elic Ayomanor

  • 6-foot-2
  • 210 pounds
  • 2024 stats: 63 receptions, 831 receiving yards, 6 touchdown catches

San Jose State WR Nick Nash

  • 6-foot-2
  • 198 pounds
  • 2024 stats: 104  receptions, 1,382 receiving yards, 16 touchdown catches

TCU WR Savion Williams (was also asked to workout at RB)

  • 6-foot-5
  • 225 pounds
  • 2024 stats: 60 receptions, 611 receiving yards, 6 touchdown catches | 51 attempts, 322 rushing yards and 6 touchdown runs

TCU WR Jack Bech

  • 6-foot-1
  • 214 pounds 
  • 2024 stats: 62 receptions, 1,034 receiving yards, 9 touchdown catches

A lagniappe is Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan should be the top player in the Saints’ cloud at pick No. 9 overall. Per our partners at ArizonaSports.com, the 6-foot-5, 210-pound receiver will not be participating in Combine drills, but is expected to be the first of the positions drafted.
