2026 NFL Draft: Saints set up meeting with Texas Tech WR Reggie Virgil
The New Orleans Saints have met with a variety of wide receivers so far, and will now add Texas Tech deep-threat Reggie Virgil to the list.
Drafting players to fill a position of need has become a somewhat less common strategy among NFL teams in the last few years, as many opt to focus on getting the best talent available and placing them wherever they can get reps. The New Orleans Saints have heavily focused on the offensive and defensive lines for a long time now, which has helped in some cases and hurt in others. Heading into this April, their most notable need is certainly at wide receiver, needing a more solidified option to place alongside Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele.
This has been seen in their list of pre-draft meetings, as they have met with a substantial number of receivers to this point. One of the names who recently got added to that group is Texas Tech deep-threat, Reggie Virgil.

Virgil already met with all 32 teams several times, and my understanding is that his position on team draft boards is stronger than the media suggests. pic. twitter.
