New Orleans Saints rookie receiver Brock Rechsteiner has been suspended for the first six games of his NFL career for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. The suspension was announced on the NFL transaction wire, with an NFL spokesman later confirming the violation of the NFL-NFLPA policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
Rechsteiner, the son of former WWE wrestler Scott Rechsteiner, also known as Scott Steiner, played wide receiver at Jacksonville State. He remains eligible to participate in all preseason activities, including the Saints' three exhibition games, until the final 53-man roster cuts. Should he make the team, the suspension will begin after those cuts, prohibiting him from entering the team facility during the six-game period.
Rechsteiner has garnered attention during training camp due to his family's wrestling background. His uncle Rick Steiner and cousin Bronson Rechsteiner have also been involved in professional wrestling. Rechsteiner himself has expressed interest in pursuing wrestling as a career after his football aspirations conclude.
Standing at 6'2" and weighing 225 pounds, Rechsteiner began his college career as a tight end before transitioning to wide receiver. In his 2025 season, he recorded a career-high 35 catches for 384 yards and five touchdowns. Discussions have suggested he might also fill an H-back role in the NFL, aligning in the backfield or at tight end.
