However there were fans who highlighted that the drive didn't end with points for New Orleans.

Could this performance help Treyton Welch make the Saints roster?

Treyton Welch is entering his second NFL season, but his first with the New Orleans Saints. He was picked up by the team in the offseason and is on the practice/reserve squad. The preseason may be the only time fans would see Welch play. However, if he makes catches like this more often, there is a chance he could make the final roster.

Heading into the season, the Saints' TE1 is set to be Juwan Johnson. Last season, he recorded 548 yards and scored three touchdowns as one of Spencer Rattler's weapons. However, while Tyler Shough may take Rattler's job, Welch is unlikely to pose a challenge to Johnson.

Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau are both injured and still recovering. Welch's performance on Sunday could lead to Saints coach Kellen Moore potentially using him as a second, third or fourth string tight end.
