Dixon is another speedster who timed the 40 yard dash in just 4.38 seconds, but like other players on the roster he's undersized at 5-foot-11 and 183 pounds. He did average 18.4 yards per catch last year but he hasn't seen a high volume of targets in college. He spent the last three seasons with SMU after transferring from Texas.

He has a big leg, and last year's punter Matthew Hayball was too inconsistent. Burnip could be punting for New Orleans in the fall if he can make the most of this opportunity.
He's like 6'6" 245.

The fifth-year senior spent his first four seasons at North Dakota playing left tackle, right guard, and a little right tackle, but he returned to the left tackle spot after transferring to Kansas State. He projects to move inside to guard owing to his 32-inch arms, but his versatility and experience at tackle are points in his favor.

He only tips the scales at 5-foot-9 and 192 pounds, but Tyree is a high-end athlete. He timed the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds and posted a 9.52 Relative Athletic Score. After spending the first four years of his college career at Notre Dame, he transferred to Virginia last year, but he's made a consistent impact as a receiving threat. He does have some experience returning punts and kickoffs.

Davis was highly productive for the Demon Deacons; he started 32 of 50 games over five years and finished his career with 51 tackles for loss and 25.5 sacks, plus 4 forced fumbles. He led the team in sacks and tackles for loss in each of the last three years. Like seventh-round pick Fadil Diggs, he'll do a lot to help the Saints transition to their 3-4 base defense after running a 4-3 for so many years. Terrell adds that he received a $10,000 signing bonus and a total of $30,000 in guarantees.

He started at center his first three years in college, at North Carolina Central, but transferred to South Carolina in 2024 and held down the starting job at right guard. He's experienced, durable, and impressed teams with a 9-foot-2 broad jump at the combine, but he drew a lot of penalty flags last year and needs to clean up his game.

He spent the last two years at Texas-San Antonio after transferring from Incarnate Word. The five-year starter has a ton of experience lining up in the slot, over the top, or inside the box, and that versatility could go a long way. He also has logged over 500 snaps on special teams. He may need to overcome some challenging size limitations at 5-foot-11 and 189 pounds.

He's a little undersized at 5-foot-11 and 193 pounds but runs hard and has an extra gear few other players in the Saints backfield can boast. He timed the 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine and ran for 1,783 yards and 21 touchdowns the last two years. He's also caught 64 passes for another 812 yards and 11 touchdowns in his Blue Hens career.

He primarily lined up out wide in college and only occasionally covered the slot. He has good size for the NFL at 6-foot and 195 pounds with 32-inch arms, but he didn't do as well in the jumps or agility drills as you'd like. He still intercepted a dozen passes in his five-year Jackrabbits career.
