WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner’s son, Brock Rechsteiner, has signed with the New Orleans Saints as a rookie wide receiver.
A WWE Hall of Famer’s family legacy is taking a new turn in the NFL, with Brock Rechsteiner landing a chance with the New Orleans Saints as a rookie wide receiver.
Rechsteiner is the son of Rick and Scott Steiner, who built Hall of Fame careers under their ring names in both WCW and WWE. Now, Brock is attempting to translate that athletic lineage to football at the professional level, following a college run that earned him notice as an incoming NFL prospect.
According to a report, the Saints signed Brock Rechsteiner. The note also indicated he stood out during rookie camp, a key proving ground where teams evaluate players’ readiness for the pace and physical demands of the league.
Brock is not the only member of the broader Rechsteiner family with a prior shot at the NFL. His cousin, Bronson Rechsteiner—better known in WWE circles as Brok Breakker—had a brief stint with the Baltimore Ravens as a fullback in 2020.
In college, Brock played three seasons and produced 53 catches for 629 yards, along with touchdowns. His most productive year came last season, when he recorded 36 receptions for 383 yards and five scores, giving New Orleans additional context on his development and role as a target.
The move also arrives at a moment when the Saints’ wide receiver depth chart has notable youth and relative inexperience.. The report noted that. aside from three-time 1. 000-yard wideout Chris Olave. the group has fewer proven high-volume options. which can create openings for rookies to earn reps and. potentially. a spot on the active roster.
The Saints’ signing fits a wider pattern of roster-building after the 2026 NFL draft. Brock is described as the fourth rookie wide receiver New Orleans has added to its roster, joining first-round pick Jordyn Tyson, fourth-rounder Bryce Lance, and sixth-round pick Barion Brown.
With multiple rookies competing for limited positions. Brock’s path to the 53-man roster could hinge on how quickly he adjusts to the NFL playbook and the timing of professional passing routes.. Rookie camp performance matters because it often foreshadows whether coaches believe a player can contribute beyond special teams.
Even with the uncertainty of a pro football start. Brock also has a prepared secondary route back to the public spotlight.. He is a member of the WWE NIL (Next in Line) program. a connection that reflects how wrestling’s entertainment pipeline and athletic brand have intersected with his football ambitions.
Brock previously said the impact of his father’s Hall of Fame induction. which occurred in Dallas in 2022. motivated him to keep pursuing his own athletic career.. He added that once football ends. he plans to move into wrestling as long as he can—an indication that. for him. the transition is likely to feel less like a pivot and more like a continuation.
For the Saints. the signing underscores how NFL teams often balance immediate needs with developmental upside. especially at skill positions where timing and chemistry can be the difference between flashes and consistent production.. For Brock. it is another step in a family story that began on the wrestling mat and is now aimed squarely at the gridiron.
Whether Brock ultimately carves out a long-term role in New Orleans remains to be seen. but the decision to bring him into rookie camp suggests the Saints saw something worth investing in early—starting with his ability to stand out in a setting designed to separate hopefuls from those ready to compete.
