Rashid Shaheed has grown into a key piece of the Saints' offense in recent weeks. Is Shaheed a flash in the pan or a key young WR for New Orleans to build around alongside Chris Olave? Saints
The New Orleans Saints always were hoping to get big contributions in the passing game from a rookie receiver. And through 17 weeks, they have gotten some nice production from first-round rookieRecently, there’s been a second rookie receiver who has done well stepping into a starting role after all of the injuries in the Saints’ receiving corps.
Shaheed was never a top receiving prospect in his class as a guy who didn’t have a ton of production out of FCS program Weber State—he had just 147 catches for 2,178 yards and 18 touchdowns in five years there. Still, thanks to his elite speed and background in track, he thrived as a returner throughout his college career, averaging more than 29 yards per kick return and six return touchdowns. That was enough to get him All-American honors four times.
When the season finally started, Shaheed was still on the practice squad after failing to survive final roster cuts. He wasn’tto the active roster until Week 6 with New Orleans in need of reinforcements at receiver thanks to injuries to Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry. A day after he was promoted, Shaheed scored his first NFL touchdown on a jet sweep, showing everyone just what kind of playmaker he could be with his blazing speed and the ball in his hands.
