New Orleans Saints select WR Kawaan Baker with the 255th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft

The New Orleans Saints have used their final pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Wide Receiver Kawaan Baker from South Alabama University. The 6’1” WR caught 8 touchdowns for South Alabama in 2020, and is a very solid all-around receiver.

South Alabama WR Kawaan Baker totaled 27 touchdowns in his last three seasons of collegiate play. Not surprised the #Saints like what he brings to the table enough to draft him, even late.

Baker’s 27 touchdowns in 2018 - 2020 came split between 16 receiving touchdowns and 11 rushing touchdowns.
