New Orleans Saints pick Oklahoma receiver Kenny Stills in the fifth round
 
1 Attachment(s)
The New Orleans Saints selected Oklahoma receiver Kenny Stills in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick.

Stills, 6 feet and 194 pounds, caught 82 passes for 964 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. He was a second-team All-Big 12 selection.
Stills ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine.
The selection of Stills selection comes after the Saints picked Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro in the first round on Thursday, then Arkansas Pine Bluff offensive tackle Terron Armstead and Georgia defensive tackle John Jenkins in the third round on Friday.

Stills is the son of former Green Bay Packers safety Ken Stills.

OVERVIEW
Stills was a highly sought after four-star recruit. As a high school senior, he had 45 receptions for 914 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2009. Stills is the all-time leader in receiving yards in San Diego. He was named 2009 CIF first-team wide receiver. Kenny’s father, also named Kenny, played safety for the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. Stills’ uncle, Gary Stills, played for the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens.


Stills had an instant impact for the Sooners, as he started every game in 2010 as a true freshman, and set Oklahoma freshman records for receptions and receiving yardage. Stills caught 61 passes for 786 yards and five touchdowns. In 2011, Stills once again caught 61 passes, but this time totaled 849 yards and eight touchdowns. He was named to the Coaches second-team All-Big 12. As a junior, Stills caught 82 passes for 964 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was once again named second-team All-Big 12.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Good athlete. Good first step off of the line of scrimmage well and has the speed to get behind cornerbacks and the quickness to create separation out of his breaks. Tracks the deep ball very well. Good hands. Flexible, and can make the adjustment to reel in off-target throws. Shows body control and the ability to catch the football at the high point.

WEAKNESSES Lacks great size for the position. Doesn't appear to have elite speed. Not overly physical. Bigger, physical corners will give him issues, especially at the line. Concentration lapses, will drop easy passes. Maturity will be in question due to off-the-field incidents.
NFL COMPARISON Andre Roberts

BOTTOM LINE While Stills isn't the biggest or the fastest, he has a knack for finding ways to get open. He has the ability to track the football, and make some extremely difficult catches. Stills will likely be selected around the third round.

Kenny Stills Draft Profile

METAIRIE, La. — Little did Kenny Stills realize it, but one summer more than four years ago, he caught passes from his future quarterback during a summer workout in San Diego.

The Saints took Stills in the fifth round, bringing the youngster’s story full circle.

Stills said Saturday he was one of several high school players in San Diego who were invited to catch passes from Drew Brees when the quarterback was still with the Chargers.

And now he’s set to catch passes from him once again.

“I can remember hearing the ball whistle coming out of his hands to my hands and just kind of smacking me in the hands,” Stills said. “I expect and have seen such great things from Drew Brees. I’m excited to be around him and learn as much as I can and get open for him.”

Quietly, the Saints’ receiving corps is getting a makeover.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.....

After the first couple of images I saw, I just x'd it out.

I don't dislike the pick at all... just thought there were better receivers on the board. Figured we would take a receiver somewhere.

I'm pumped that the dude has no injury history.

Not a typical mid rd WR pick for us.

For those who wanted Swope? Check out his 6 (SIX) diagnosed concussions.

Re: New Orleans Saints pick Oklahoma receiver Kenny Stills in the fifth round
 
Stills looks smooth on the field... like everything comes natural and he's not trying hard. I just wanted a guy that could help with with YAC and create after the catch... I don't think he's that type of receiver. Solid pick nonetheless... happy we got a receiver.

He reminds me a little of Vincent Brown in San Diego and Kyle Williams in San Fran.

Outstanding body control and ability to track the ball in the air.

Needs to extend his arms to catch and doesn't look elusive in the open field.

I cannot stress enough that the dude is durable! Hate seeing talented dudes riding bikes at camp.

Well WR's are a bit strange to begin with. At least we know he won't have any self-confidence issues. Anybody that'll put on a dress and take pics, probably has self-confidence off the charts.

Let er run with it. May cause defenders to second guess a tackle.

AMEN RMS, it seems like every WR we've picked since Colston is made of glass.

Drafted two Kenny's. Both have full sleeve tattoos, both have sported Mohawks. Just different sides
Of the ball.

Scouting reports say his weaknesses are: lacks elite size and speed... He's 6 ft. and runs a 4.3! Am I missing something here?

The analysis was written before the combine and they rarely go back and alter their analysis on late rounders.

I'm stoked that his main negatives were basically eliminated by his combine results.

I've learned years ago with scouting reports that they're extremely bi polar.

It is a great photo but at the same time... it's a little depressing seeing Vaccaro getting beat over the top for a touchdown.

I posted a scouting report on a player a few years ago that stated one of his strengths listed was the abilty to turn and run, and one of his weaknesses listed was that he struggled to turn and run.

LOL, I think I even posted it here at that time.

That was my question too. My old coach is a huge Sooners fan and he says we got a good one.
