At 6-foot-5, Delp offers ultra-athleticism at the tight end position and offers another weapon for Tyler Shough. While only recording 24 receptions for the Bulldogs in 2025, Delp has an untapped ceiling and could develop into a star tight end in the NFL.
New Orleans has gone into this offseason with a clear goal: get weapons for Shough, and that’s exactly what Delp provides. While he has issues fighting through contact to make the catch, his speed and quickness make him a nightmare for linebackers in coverage.
On top of his receiving skills, the 6-foot-5 tight end is a good-enough blocker. There’s development needed in that area, but he’s entering the league with a strong base.

The Saints lost Foster Moreau to the Houston Texans in free agency, and Taysom Hill isn’t expected to return. While Juwan Johnson is coming off a career year and New Orleans signed Noah Fant to a one-year deal, Delp will get his chance early on.
