Saint-Orleans saints Head coach Kellen Moore spent six seasons in the NFL as an offensive coordinator before being hired by the saints during the offseason. He was with the Dallas Cowboys for four years, then the loaders for one, before directing the offensive of the champion of the Super Bowl Lix Philadelphia Eagles last year.
In his previous judgments, Moore had good receptors in a tight final position and used them well in his system. He had Dalton Schultz in Dallas, Gerald Everett with the loaders and Dallas Goedert in Philadelphia. Even with New Orleans barely addressed to the end position tightened by the draft or the free agency (apart from the signing of former eagles blocking the winger tight Jack Stoll), Moore will have weapons of return with which to work in his last work. At least once everyone is healthy.

Pro football analyst Focus John Kosko Listed the 32 best tight ends of this site in the NFL season. The saints were one of the six teams to have two players among the rankings.
No. 14 – Taysom Hill
” Hill is difficult to place on this list, because it is less a tight end and more a player to do everything. And he also came out of an ACL torn in 2024. When he is in good health, Hill must be taken into account with each game: he is a threat as a smuggler, runner and receiver. He obtained an overall note of 71.8 pff or better in four consecutive seasons. ”
N ° 31 – Juwan Johnson
“ Despite the multitude of injuries of the saints, especially in the quarter of Derek Carr, Johnson has always successfully completed 548 reception yards and an average of 1.34 roller yards in 2024. Although the quarter-back situation of New Orleans is not better in 2025, Johnson showed that a quarter of New Orleans does not seem better in 2025.
A tight end in the name only, Hill is the most dangerous on the rear field and is the second best runner for saints. It will line up everywhere along the training and give nightmares on the defenses. A threat as a runner and launcher, Hill is also an underestimated passes sensor.
Hill was one of the many saints to lose for the year in mid-season due to an injury. His LCA injury will make him go out to at least one training camp, in the best of cases, and has many doubts in the future of the NFL. In alignment, it is a critical piece of chess for the offense. Once in good health, expect Kellen Moore to be creative in his use of Hill.
Wideout Converted, Johnson can provide advantageous matches to the saints. It is too athletic so that most seconds can correspond to the cover, while its size submerges the smallest defensive backs. The 50 receptions of Johnson and 66 targets finished second in the team last year, with its 548 reception yards leading the team. All three were the best number of his five -year career.

Johnson, 28, was signed for a three -year contract extension this spring. The saints only brought another tight end to the end of Tour 7 of the draft. It is clear that Moore and the staff of offensive coaches believe that Juwan Johnson will be an important weapon for their offense this season.
