New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore worked as an offensive coordinator in the NFL for six seasons before being hired by the Saints this offseason. He worked with the Dallas Cowboys for four years, then the charger, and then went to the offense of last year’s Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Moore had good receivers in tight end positions during his previous stays and used them well in his system. He was in Dallas, Gerald Everett and Dalton Schultz of Dallas Goedert in Philadelphia. Even if New Orleans once again passes the draft or free agent (with the signing of the former Hawks to stop the tight end position from signing Jack Stoll), Moore will still have some returning weapons to use in his latest job. At least everyone is healthy.
Pro Footboce analyst John Kosko lists the site's top 32 tight ends of the NFL season. The Saints are one of six teams with two players in six teams.
No. 14 - Taysom Hill
``Hill is hard to put on this list because his situation is not too nervous and an all-around player. And he also tore the ACL apart in 2024. When healthy, Hill has to be considered in every game: He is the threat of passing, runner and receiver. He scored a total of 71.8 PFF for four consecutive seasons. ''
No. 31 - Juwan Johnson
``Despite the Saint's injuries, including quarterback Derek Carr, Johnson still manages 548 yards of catch yards and 1.34 yards per game average in 2024. And the New Orleans quarterback situation doesn't look good in 2025, but Johnson shows the productive tension of his quarterback. ”
In the tense situation on the name alone, Hill is the most dangerous in the backcourt and is the second best runner for the Saints. He will line up along the formation and provide nightmare for defense. Hill is a threat to runners and throwers, and an underrated pass catcher.
Hill was one of several Saints lost in the middle of the season due to injury. His ACL injury will cost him at least training camp, at best, and there are many doubts about his NFL future. In the lineup, he is the key to the offense. Once healthy, hope Kellen Moore is creative in his use of Hill.
Johnson is a vast area of transformation that can provide favorable showdowns for the Saints. He is too athletic to match most of the defenders in the coverage area, and his figure overwhelms smaller defensive backs. Johnson's 50 receptions and 66 goals were second last year, with his 548-yard catch yard lead. These three are the best numbers in his five-year career.
Johnson, 28, was signed as a three-year contract this spring. It was not until the end of the 7th round of the draft that the Saints caused another close end. This clearly shows that Moore and the offensive coaching staff believe Juwan Johnson will be an important weapon for offense this season.
