New Orleans Saints' hidden gem shows that the entire NFL may have overlooked him during the 2024 NFL Draft

Rashid Shaheed is a marvel of a UDFA signing by the New Orleans Saints in recent years. The wideout is the best returner in the NFC, and now, he's their clear WR2 on the roster. Another overlooked wideout is showing out for the black and gold during training camp now.

Mason Tipton was an undrafted free agent signing by the Saints during this offseason. He was not selected in the 2024 NFL Draft, and other teams may regret that decision this year. Tipton is listed at 5'11 and 187 pounds.

The young WR's explosiveness and fluidity have made an impression on the staff around the Saints. He's quickly gaining respect.

Tipton's highlights don't stop there. He also made a great play against starting nickel back Alontae Taylor, too. Dennis Allen has noticed his route running and speed. That combo was on full display here.

The Saints coach said that Tipton reminded him of Chris Harris Jr. in Denver. Harris was overlooked, but his hard work and play-making earned him a role on the team.

That's a notable point from Allen, considering the WR competition that's begun for the Saints.

Here's another intriguing note for Tipton: He was not scheduled to talk to the media on Monday before practice. The Saints added him afterwards , seemingly pointing to how impressed the staff was by him. They wanted the young wideout to talk to the media and tell his story.

"I have to come out here and prove it everyday" -- Tipton on his mindset

Tipton is making a case for himself, clearly. The young wideout has emerged as one of the stars of camp on offense and has taken advantage of every opportunity.

Let's see if that results in a roster spot by the time the regular season rolls around. Plenty of folks are excited to see Tipton get some in-game action during the preseason.
