Barion Brown continues to be the "rising star of training camp", per @Kat_Terrell. He's mostly been with the 2nd-team offense to start camp but he's starting to get more opportunities, including some snaps with 1st-team offense.

THIS ANGLE OF BARION BROWN’S CATCH 😳

Round 6 pick (190th overall) has been a regular standout in both one-on-ones and team drills and hasn't slowed down since pads came on in practice; 5-11, 180-pounder was viewed by scouts as speedy specialist for return ability and deep-ball threat with trick-play potential, but early camp returns suggest he might have far more in store; made several downfield catches and been steady source for offensive juice; Saints head coach Kellen Moore appeared to go out of his way to explain he doesn't just view Brown as specialist but as complete receiver; despite inconsistent college production and shaky hands, appears to be putting best foot forward early in camp.

Another day, another TD for Barion Brown 💨

6th-round Saints WR showing exceptional training camp performance with elite separation ability; drafted for special teams contribution but displaying offensive impact that could accelerate depth chart movement. Started behind four WRs (Olave, Tyson, Vele, Lance) and would have been WR5 before Ja'Lynn Polk's retirement, but consistent practice excellence and major impact suggest he could begin season at WR4 and potentially overtake Devaughn Vele for WR3 without injuries. Even if remaining at WR4, his big-play ability positions him for a Rashid Shaheed-type role as a high-impact, lower-volume receiver rather than a consistent double-digit yards-per-game contributor.

Day 7 of #Saints camp in the books ... some quick notes: - Attendance: No Alvin Kamara, likely a rest day. Kendre Miller, Jeremiah Wright and Christen Miller did not participate. Ronnie Bell left early with a trainer - Easily the best day for the offense. The first set of 11-on-11 was the cleanest I've seen that group look. Very efficient and guys look to be settling in. - The legend of Barion Brown continues to build. The final play of the day was a 46-yard bomb from Rattler to Brown in a 2-...

Saints rookie WR Barion Brown continues to impress in these 1-on-1 drills and overall throughout camp

Sixth-round rookie WR has been stacking good days through the first week of Saints training camp and performed well on Monday, making plays left and right despite being announced as a return specialist during the draft. The LSU wideout has been a favorite target among quarterbacks; at 5-foot-11 with game-breaking speed, his ability to make contested catches exceeds expectations, and he possesses a wide catch radius. His versatility as a kick returner and continuous playmaking during camp have elevated his roster chances, especially with the surprise retirement of WR Ja'Lynn Polk, making him look like a lock to be on the Saints' 2026-27 roster.

Sixth-round Saints WR has stacked strong training camp days with multiple plays and is emerging as a favorite target among quarterbacks despite being announced as a return specialist at draft. At 5-foot-11, Brown possesses game-breaking speed and contested-catch ability better than expected; he won't match Devaughn Vele's red zone production but shows willingness and wide catch radius. His versatility as kick returner already elevated roster chances, and the surprise retirement of Ja'Lynn Polk removes one competitor, positioning Brown as a roster lock for 2026-27 season.

Saints training camp Day 5 in the book, some quick notes: - Same general attendance. Still no 51 (personal) - High-energy practice. Looked like they were limiting Jordyn Tyson some, but he got into team and made some nice plays - Offense seemed to find its stride, particularly targeting WRs. Barion Brown with a couple really nice moments. Defensive line is still generating a lot of pressure. Shough created off-schedule a few times, including a really nice find where he extended and got it to...
