Saints’ Rookie Wide Receiver Brock Rechsteiner Suspended for Six Games

The New Orleans Saints have focused on improving their wide receiver group during the offseason. The team selected Jordyan Tyson as their eighth overall pick in April’s draft. They also picked Bryce Lance in the fourth round and Barion Brown in the sixth. Additionally, they signed undrafted free agent Brock Rechsteiner, son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner.

However, the Saints face a setback early in training camp. The NFL announced Rechsteiner’s suspension for the first six games of the 2026 season. This information comes from the league’s transaction wire. The reason for his suspension remains unknown.

Brock Rechsteiner, aged 23, had a respectable career at Jacksonville State. He recorded 53 receptions for 629 yards and seven touchdowns over 23 games. Despite the suspension, he can still practice with the Saints and participate in preseason games. His suspension begins when the roster is reduced to 53 players on August 30.

Brock is not the first in his family to explore career opportunities in the NFL. His cousin, known as Bron Breakker in WWE, briefly pursued an NFL career. Bron signed as an undrafted free agent with the Baltimore Ravens in 2020 as a fullback but was released after a few months.

Brock has expressed his intention to follow a career in professional wrestling like his cousin and family members. His father and uncle, known as the Steiner Brothers, were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022.
