Rashid Shaheed was a pleasant surprise for the New Orleans Saints last season, having emerged as a playmaker at wide receiver and on special teams late in his rookie year. Now he’s going into his second year in black and gold, but he’ll be working with a new quarterback.
When asked about his reaction to the Saints signing Derek Carr after he caught passes from Jameis Winston, Andy Dalton, and Taysom Hill as a rookie, Shaheed was all smiles. He got the opportunity to talk about his whirlwind of a year on NFL Network’s NFL Total Access show.
“It was a lot of emotion, I was so excited,” Shaheed reflected. “I was kind of antsy to find out who was going to be our quarterback, it was kind of in-between. There were some reports (Carr) was interested in us or the Jets. But once I found out he was locked as a Saint nothing but excitement, I’m excited to have a leader like him who’s known throughout the league. I’m ready to work with him.” new orleans saints crocs
