Saints Coach Kellen Moore Excited About Sixth-round Receiver Barion Brown

New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore is fired up about sixth-round rookie receiver Barion Brown during training camp, not first-round pick Jordyn Tyson.

Brown, selected 190th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft out of LSU, impressed Moore with his SEC production at Kentucky and LSU. We watched a lot of evidence of him playing receiver and playing impactful plays in the SEC for a number of years, not just the LSU year, but the Kentucky years. And when you watch all that exposure and get to know Barion, you're really fired up to have this guy, Moore said.

Brown started at Kentucky in 2022, posting 628 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 50 catches as a freshman, then 539 yards and four touchdowns on 43 receptions in 2023, adding 147 rushing yards and 576 kickoff return yards with three return touchdowns, earning first-team All-American and second-team All-SEC honors. He earned first-team All-SEC the next season before transferring to LSU, where he totaled 532 receiving yards, one touchdown, 53 catches, 445 kickoff return yards, and a kickoff return touchdown. With Chris Olave and Tyson locked in as top receivers, Brown could compete for the No. 3 role.
