Kellen Moore continues to build his coaching staff in New Orleans

The New Orleans Saints are hiring the University of Montana offensive analyst Scott Linehan, per a report by Nick Underhill.

Linehan, 61, began his coaching career in high school in 1987 before moving to college coaching in 1989 at the University of Idaho. Linehan wouldn’t begin coaching in the NFL until 2002 when he joined the Minnesota Vikings staff as the offensive coordinator. He would later have stints with the Miami Dolphins, St. Louis Rams, Detroit Lions, and the Dallas Cowboys.

Linehan mentored Kellen Moore when he was signed as an undrafted player for the Lions. He was later...

The New Orleans Saints have hired former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive backs coach Grady Brown, according to Matt Zenitz of 247sports. His title with the team is still to be determined. Brown had interviewed for the Atlanta Falcons’ vacant defensive coordinator position this offseason before they ultimately chose former New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich.

It became apparent that Brown would not be returning to the Steelers when they announced the hiring of Gerald Alexander as their new DB coach. During Brown’s four-year stint, Pittsburgh posted a 38-29-1 record while the...

Kellen Moore is adding one of his mentors to his coaching staff.

The New Orleans Saints continued to fill out their coaching staff Monday, as they are expected to hire veteran defensive assistant Grady Brown, a source confirmed.

Dont’e Thornton, a wide receiver out of Tennessee, had an impressive day at the NFL Combine and because of his performance, I think the New Orleans Saints should think about drafting him this April.

Standing at 6’5’’, his 40-yard dash of 4.30 stands out. And according to NFL Draft Files, this speed is nothing new. Thornton also had a vertical jump of 33” and a broad jump of 10’6’’, with a relative athletic score of 9.80.

In 2024, his best season of college football, Thornton had 26 receptions for 662 yards and six touchdowns. His best game was against Oklahoma, where he had two...

Most of the outside focus of the NFL Combine is on the 40-yard dash to see who runs the fastest. For some positions, this drill is essential. For others, different drills are a focus of many scouts. One aspect of the Combine is important no matter what: The measurements. Every prospect participating in the combine gets their height, weight, arm length, hand size, and wing span measured. Having the ideal measurements is something teams value higher than most categories, and it can affect draft stock if a prospect has surprising or disappointing measurements. It happens every year, and...

The New Orleans Saints may be in the market for a young quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft with the upcoming season likely being Derek Carr’s last in New Orleans.

On Saturday, the quarterbacks took the field to try and improve their draft stock. While projected QB1 and QB2 Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders decided to sit out of drills, enticing names such as Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart and Missouri quarterback Brady Cook were present and participating in drills.

Projected second-round selection Jaxson Dart did everything to help keep his name in contention of being called on day two and...

Now that the Scouting Combine is in the books, has it changed the idea of what the New Orleans Saints will be looking to do at the draft?

The Saints held a meeting with the top QB Prospect from the combine. What could that mean?

With NFL free agency looming, we placed players on defense into tiers based on their potential offseason contracts.

With the ninth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints have a chance to reshape their roster in a big way—but the question remains: which position will they prioritize? After a disappointing season that saw them fall to the bottom of the NFC South for the first time since 2008, the...

Per a report Matt Zenitz with CBS Sports, the New Orleans Saints are expected to add Robert Blanton and Jay Rodgers to new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley’s staff.

Blanton is a former NFL safety who drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2012 NFL Draft. After retiring from the NFL, he started his coaching career at Benilde-St. Margaret High School in Minnesota, as their defensive backs coach. He later joined Miami University (Ohio) staff as their defensive pass game coordinator and safeties coach.

Rodgers comes to New Orleans with over 23 years of collegiate and NFL coaching...

Will Campbell is a projected top 10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but the LSU Tigers prospect faced questions about his arm length at the NFL Combine.

The interview process is vital to understanding how these prospects think and if they can make it in the NFL. The New Orleans Saints will do their due diligence throughout the combine week, and although the team has hinted at Derek Carr being the starter in 2025, QB still needs to be looked at going into the draft. One of these quarterbacks the team could target, Miami's Cam Ward, is considered the far and away top QB in the draft. It is likely Ward gets selected before pick 9, but per Nick Underhill, the Saints still met with him yesterday at the NFL Combine.

This meeting is not a...
