New Orleans Saints showcase camp standouts and safety Julian Blackmon's return

During the 2026 New Orleans Saints training camp, a list dubbed the Mason Tipton All-Stars highlighted several under‑the‑radar players. Wide receiver Barion Brown impressed with a spectacular catch from quarterback Spencer Rattler, while kicker K Tanner Brown was noted for being the only player to make two field goals of at least 60 yards in a single game. Defensive back Jayden Price, a former UFL standout, earned praise for his physical play and potential to step up if injuries occur.

Safety Julian Blackmen, returning from two shoulder surgeries, impressed coaches with a strong practice performance. After a brief appearance last season, he hopes to solidify his role alongside fellow safety Justin Reid and contribute to the Saints' defense throughout the upcoming season.
