Overview
- New Orleans took Delp 73rd overall in Friday’s third round, adding another pass target for second‑year quarterback Tyler Shough.
- At 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, he posted a 4.49-second 40-yard dash and a 38-inch vertical, and scouts praise his quick separation and soft hands.
- Reports also flag short arms, inconsistency finishing through contact, and a need for more upper‑body strength, which could shape his early blocking work.
- He joins veterans Juwan Johnson and free‑agent addition Noah Fant, and coaches see chances for him in two‑tight‑end sets under Moore.
- Delp’s Georgia role behind Brock Bowers kept his career totals to 70 catches for 854 yards and nine touchdowns, and he arrives with pre‑draft ties to first‑rounder Jordyn Tyson and longtime teammate Christen Miller, plus a viral draft‑night dog video that introduced him to fans.
