Examining what WR Mason Tipton brings to the Saints and his chances to grab a roster spot
Undrafted rookies and late round draft picks typically face formidable odds to even make an NFL roster, let alone make a significant impact. However, the New Orleans Saints have an impressive history of finding overlooked talent. This is especially true at the wide receiver spot.
Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and Perry are the top three receivers for the Saints. New Orleans also added free agentsand used a fifth-round choice on WR Bub Means. While the depth chart might look full, don't overlook the chances of this Ivy League receiver to push the veterans for a job.Yale Bulldogs wide receiver Mason Tipton runs after a reception / yalebulldogs.com
Tipton saved his best production for 2023, pulling in 52 receptions for 786 yards, 10 scores, and four 100-yard outings. His 19 career touchdowns puts him third on Yale's all-time list. An impressive 4.33 40 time at his Pro Day also caused scouts to pay closer attention to him leading up to the draft.
Tipton needs to develop better variation and route precision. It's something he showed little of in college and is especially crucial if he's to be effective from the slot. While he has explosive speed, that wasn't always evident in his routes or with his open field ability after the catch.
