Dixon may be the next undrafted find by New Orleans at wide receiver
Today marks 84 days before the 2025 season opener for the New Orleans Saints. New Orleans will take on the Arizona Cardinals to start their 59th NFL season, first under new head coach Kellen Moore. Wearing number 84 for the Saints currently is Moochie Dixon, an undrafted rookie receiver. Dixon could become the 20th player to wear No. 84 for the Saints in the regular season. He’s also trying to become the latest undrafted find by New Orleans at this position, as we take a closer look at our Saints Player of the Day.

The Saints signed Dixon after he was not selected in the draft this spring. A thinly built receiver, there is some question how effective Dixon will be in heavy traffic or against physical NFL defensive backs. However, he displayed excellent speed and big-play ability throughout his college career. At pre-draft workouts, Dixon turned in an impressive 40 time of 4.38 seconds.
Moochie Dixon has his hands full to make the New Orleans roster. The Saints already have three explosive playmakers in Rashid Shaheed, Chris Olave, and Brandin Cooks along with up-and-coming second-year wideout Bub Means and veteran Donovan Peoples-Jones. Dixon will also have competition from fellow undrafted playmaker Chris Tyree. This is not to rule him out. The Saints have struck gold with undrafted wideouts several times. With a strong camp and preseason, Dixon could possibly add his name to that list.
