The New Orleans Saints made a surprising choice in the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting Moliki Matavao, a tight end from UCLA, in the seventh round. At 6-foot-5 and 260 pounds, Matavao offers a significant presence as both a blocker and receiver, although his receiving stats are still a work in progress. He had an impressive collegiate career, particularly last season where he led UCLA in receiving, totaling 74 catches for nearly 1,000 yards and 6 touchdowns. Projected by some experts as a fifth-round talent, his selection at No. 248 exemplifies the Saints' commitment to finding undervalued assets in the draft.
