Rashid Shaheed received more all-star recognition for his punt returns skills, being named to the PFWA All-NFL Team:

Good for Rashid Shaheed: the New Orleans Saints wide receiver received more all-star recognition for his punt returns skills, being named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-NFL and All-NFC Teams. Shaheed was previously selected for the Pro Bowl and earned All-Pro attention for his efforts in the return game.

Shaheed returned 25 punts during the 2023 season (tied for 10th-most) but finished with 339 return yards at an average of 13.6 yards per attempt (third-most in each category). He also scored a touchdown on a 76-yard return against the Green Bay Packers.

Shaheed has developed into a very impressive playmaker for the Saints. His 1,479 all-purpose yards ranked around the NFL, and he was the only player in the league with 700-plus yards from scrimmage as well as 300-plus return yards on both punts and kickoffs. Let’s see how much higher his star can rise.

Deonte Harris, Ryan Ramczyk among Saints named to 2019 PFWA All-NFL Team

New Orleans Saints players including Deonte Harris, Ryan Ramczyk were selected for the 2019 Pro Football Writers of America All-NFL Team.

[jwplayer 0eBhqth2-ThvAeFxT]

Postseason accolades just keep rolling in for the New Orleans Saints. Four players were selected by the Pro Football Writers of America for their All-NFL Team, including phenomenal rookie returns specialist Deonte Harris. Harris was joined by right tackle Ryan Ramczyk, wide receiver Michael Thomas, and defensive end Cameron Jordan. Thomas was the only player in the group to return from last year’s PFWA All-NFL Team.

Unlike the NFL Pro Bowl and Associated Press All-Pro rosters, the PFWA does not distinguish between first-team and second-team recognition. It does however assemble an All-NFC Team and All-AFC Team; all four of the Saints players previously mentioned received all-conference honors, along with cornerback Marshon Lattimore, kicker Wil Lutz, and special teams ace J.T. Gray. That’s not bad company to keep.
