He has 159 receptions for 2,165 yards and nine touchdowns since the Saints drafted him as the 11th overall pick in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Shaheed developed into a “big play” threat for the New Orleans quarterbacks in 2023–24, with five receptions, one rush, and a touchdown punt return. In 27 game appearances, Shaheed recorded 74 receptions for 1,207 yards and seven receiving touchdowns.
Bob Bicknell, Dennis Allen’s senior offensive assistant, wrapped up his second season with the New Orleans Saints.
Bicknell spent his 14th NFL season and 29th total coaching a variety of positions, including wide receivers and offensive line.
