The New Orleans Saints hosted Montana Grizzlies All-American Junior Bergen, one of college football's top punt returners, for an official top 30 visit. Bergen boasts eight punt return touchdowns with an impressive 16.6 yards per return average and has shown versatility as a receiver and rusher during his college career. Despite being undersized, Bergen's productivity has caught the attention of NFL scouts, including the San Francisco 49ers who also worked him out privately.
The Saints have a history of scouting talented return specialists from smaller programs, with Bergen being a potential late-round draft target for them. While not attending his pro day, the Saints took the opportunity to evaluate Bergen further during his visit to their headquarters in Metairie. With late seventh-round picks at their disposal, the Saints may consider selecting Bergen to add depth to their special teams unit, following their trend of giving opportunities to undrafted free agents with return skills.
