Saints add wrestling heir Brock Rechsteiner to roster

New Orleans added a fresh body‑builder to its roster on Tuesday, signing undrafted rookie Brock Rechsteiner after a rookie‑minicamp tryout. The 6‑foot‑5, 250‑pound former Jacksonville State wideout joins the Saints’ 90‑man roster, becoming the latest link between football and the Steiner wrestling dynasty. His agency, US Sports Management, confirmed the move on social media.

Rechsteiner posted 52 receptions for 630 yards and seven touchdowns over four collegiate seasons, a production that earned him a brief stint with the Tennessee Titans earlier this year. He never secured a contract in Tennessee, but the Saints’ interest suggests they see developmental upside in his size and hands.

Family pedigree looms large; Brock is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner and cousin of Bron Breakker, who transitioned from a Ravens training‑camp tryout to a successful wrestling career. While he maintains a NIL deal with WWE, his immediate goal is to survive preseason cuts and earn playing time in New Orleans.

If Rechsteiner makes the final 53‑man roster, he will provide depth at the slot receiver position and give head coach Dennis Allen a rare blend of size and route‑running ability, a potential weapon in the Saints’ passing attack.
