The New Orleans Saints are known to pay close attention to the Reese’s Senior Bowl each year and with so many draft needs in 2025, this could be a crucial event for them.
One spot on the roster that was proven to need more talent was wide receiver. Luckily, there are a handful of exciting wide outs heading to Mobile for the event. In particular, some fun names to keep an eye out for include Elic Ayomanor, Jack Bech and Da’Quan Felton.
Ayomanor is a big-bodied receiver that has always had promise of talent, but has been inconsistent throughout his career. Still, he has had plenty of big plays both with contested catches and with his legs. It would make sense for a team to fall in love with his potential enough for him to go late Day 2, early Day 3.
Bech will be a familiar name for a lot of Saints fans, given that he started his career with the LSU Tigers before transferring to the TCU Horned Frogs. Like Ayomanor, though, he was mostly about potential until he broke out during his final collegiate season. As a senior, Bech hauled in 62 catches for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns. He’s a bit of an all-around weapon that could line up wherever on the field.
Felton was a small school prospect that gained some national acclaim after transferring to the Virginia Tech Hokies. He is the perfect player for an event like this where he will get a chance to show off for scouts. He is athletic freak at 6-foot-5 and could entice an NFL team to draft him as a project player. That kind of size is something that New Orleans could use at wideout.
