SALT LAKE CITY – Former Weber State wider receiver/kick returner Rashid Shaheed has signed as an undrafted free agent with the New Orleans Saints, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

KSLSports.com was able to confirm Shaheed’s deal with New Orleans.

Shaheed signed with the Saints following the NFL Draft on Saturday, April 30.

The former Weber State return threat joins a New Orleans team that finished at 9-8, missing out on the postseason in 2021.

The 6’0, 180 pound wide receiver from San Diego, CA finished his career as the FCS all-time leader in kickoff return touchdowns, housing seven  in his career. Shaheed is the the only Weber State Wildcat to be named as an All-American four different times.
