Saints Sign Rechsteiner to 90-Man Roster
The New Orleans Saints added wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner, son of WWE Hall-of-Famer Scott Steiner, to their 90-player offseason roster after a tryout at rookie minicamp. General manager Mickey Loomis announced the move.
College Career Overview
Rechsteiner spent four seasons at Jacksonville State, playing in 39-40 games. Reported stats differ: some sources list 52 receptions for 629 yards, others 53 for 630 yards, with seven touchdowns and a senior high of 36 catches for 383 yards.
Steiner Family Wrestling Heritage
Scott Steiner and his brother Rick Steiner were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022 as the Steiner Brothers. Brock’s cousin Bronson Rechsteiner wrestles as Bron Breakker, and Brock signed a WWE NIL (Next-In-Line) agreement in 2025.
Physical Profile & Metrics
Listed at 6-2 and 225 lb (some outlets list 6-1, 222 lb), Rechsteiner posted a 4.48-second 40-yard dash and earned an 8.33 Relative Athletic Score. His size and speed have sparked speculation about a possible move to tight end.
Official Comments
Loomis said the signing adds depth and competition at receiver. Rechsteiner told reporters he “wants to play football as long as he can” and will consider wrestling later. Coach Keith Williams called him “Stone Cold.”
Skepticism About Roster Spot
Analysts note the Saints already have veterans and three recent draft picks at receiver, making Rechsteiner’s path to the final 53-man roster uncertain. Some suggest a tight-end conversion, while his modest college numbers raise doubts about NFL impact.
Fan Reaction Snapshot
Twitter users expressed both enthusiasm and caution. One posted, “He lands with the Saints… son of wrestling legend Scott Steiner,” while another predicted he will climb the depth chart and make the top six. A third praised his “off-the-charts” athleticism.
Reporting Discrepancies
Sources differ on the signing date (Monday vs. Tuesday), on Rechsteiner’s college totals (52 vs. 53 receptions, 629 vs. 630 yards), and on his listed height (6-2 vs. 6-1) and weight (225 lb vs. 222 lb). Contract terms remain undisclosed.
