We're bringing up George Kittle here because of the tape Oscar Delp put up in the 2025 season; I think he's got some really good versatility; I think he'll be able to handle some volume; the value of playing in multiple tight end [formations] is [clear]

Delp's tape and Kittle comp suggest breakout potential in Staley's 12/13 personnel.

The Saints' third-round pick from Georgia caught just 20 passes on 28 targets for 261 yards and one TD in 2025, but the source compares his tape to George Kittle's pre-draft profile—an under-the-radar prospect whose college production (43 catches, 624 yards, 10 TDs over three seasons) didn't predict NFL impact. Kellen Moore praised Delp's versatility, noting he can play off-the-ball in wing alignment, on the line, or in the backfield, and will function as a chess piece alongside Juwan Johnson and Noah Gray in multiple tight-end formations. Moore emphasized that 12 and 13 personnel packages provide pass-game juice, and Delp could unlock efficiency gains; Shough's 89.6 rating with three TEs (vs. 56.5 with two) suggests Delp's role could be transformative.
