Tipton is again turning heads in his second preseason
There is now a 15 day wait until the New Orleans Saints begin their regular season at home against the Arizona Cardinals. Second-year wide receiver Mason Tipton wears No. 15 for New Orleans. After wearing No. 84 as an undrafted rookie last year, Tipton switched numbers and is hoping for an even bigger role in the team’s offense. He is also our Saints Player of the Day, so here’s a closer look at his career to date.
- Name (age): Mason Tipton (24)
- Hometown: Akron, Ohio
- Position: Wide receiver
- Height, weight: 5-foot-11, 180 pounds
- College: Yale Bulldogs
- Relative Athletic Score: 8.03
- Drafted: Undrafted in 2024 (Saints)
- NFL experience: 1 year
- 2025 salary cap hit: $963,333
Now in his second season, Tipton is competing to potentially be the Saints’ third wideout behind starters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. He’s had an impressive camp and has backed that up with a 54-yard scoring reception against the Chargers in the first preseason game and 6 catches for 100 yards against the Jaguars last week. For a New Orleans team with a concerning lack of depth at receiver, a breakout year from Mason Tipton could be a key to some successful offensive performances.
