The New Orleans Saints are betting big on their youth movement at wide receiver. Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed are expecting A.T. Perry to join them in the starting lineup, and he did show some real playmaking ability as a rookie last season. But he’ll need to outplay veterans like Cedrick Wilson Jr. and Equanimeous St. Brown during training camp to win that WR3 job, and all while another rookie draft pick, Bub Means, is pushing him.
How does this group compare to other receiving corps you’ll find around the NFL? Pro Football Focus graded all 32 teams’ projected wide receiver groups ahead of the 2024 season. Here’s how they stand:
