Misused by the previous offensive coaches, Rashid Shaheed could have a huge season in a new Saints offense
The New Orleans Saints had an unceremonious parting of ways with WR Michael Thomas this offseason. Thomas is still a viable offensive weapon, but had also become a divisive presence within the team and had missed 47 of 67 games over four years with injuries.
There is also a rapidly rising star at the position who might be the biggest beneficiary to Kubiak's arrival to the offense.New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed runs a punt back for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers / Mark Hoffman / USA TODAY NETWORK As a rookie, Shaheed caught 28 of his 38 targets over 12 games for 488 yards and two touchdowns. Most of that came over the last six games, when he pulled in 22 passes for 377 yards. He also rushed four times for 57 yards and a score while averaging nearly 23 yards per kickoff return and 10 yards per punt return.
Shaheed had 46 receptions for 719 yards and five touchdowns on 75 targets in his second season. He tied Olave for the team lead in scoring receptions, was second in receiving yardage, and third in catches and targets. His 153 yards against Indianapolis in Week 3 was a career-best and he also had seven rushes for 37 yards.
