Arrington, Nicks look to validate Saints' decision

But since Nicks was available in the fifth round of the draft, and Arrington in the seventh, the Saints decided it was worth risking of a couple late-round picks on them.

On Saturday, after the third practice of the Saints' three-day rookie camp, both players expressed gratitude for the chance they've been given by New Orleans and their desire to make the best of it.

"I'm hoping to be a big steal," Arrington said. "I'm just trying to work hard every day in practice and do exactly what the coaches are telling me to do. When they see that, that's something they can work with."

Arrington was a junior at Michigan last season, his first as a starter. A broken ankle sidelined him for most of 2005. During 2006, he was arrested after a fight with his girlfriend, though misdemeanor domestic violence charges were later dropped. He also was suspended from the team by then-coach Lloyd Carr during 2007 spring drills. However, he won reinstatement to the squad and had 67 catches last season for 882 yards and eight TDs.
