The New Orleans Saints are actively seeking to bolster their wide receiver group after trading Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks. In preparation for the 2026 NFL Draft, the Saints conducted a private workout with De'Zhaun Stribling, a 6-foot-2 wide receiver from Ole Miss. Stribling, who recorded a remarkable 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, has emerged as a notable prospect due to his performance, which includes back-to-back seasons of over 800 yards receiving in 2024 and 2025. His ability to average 14.75 yards per catch and maintain a low drop rate has significantly boosted his draft stock, making him a likely Day 2 selection. The Saints hold the No. 8 overall pick, but if they choose to address other needs early, they may target Stribling with their No. 73 pick in the third round. Alternatively, they could trade up if they believe Stribling fits well within their offensive scheme.
