Saints Sign WR Dan Arnold, 6'6" 220lbs - Jimmy Graham Replacement?

AsylumGuido · 06-06-2017, 05:21 PM

Very little chance he makes the roster as a UDFA rookie being picked up this late. But, if by some miracle he does beat out one of the others it will be because he earned it and THAT could be very exciting.

He is the prototype for the new "RD" (rag doll) TE!

Skinny and slow.

Eh his 40 time is on the slow side, but his other measurables are pretty explosive numbers. He's a long shot but I'm excited to hear how his development goes this summer.

lets calm down with TE bit. he needs to fill out that frame a bit more. solid weight as a wr

I was going to ask what kind of crack you were smoking until I realized I read the size of the lineman we cut instead of Arnold. 6-6 290 running 4.6 would've been more promising for TE.

The guard we cut was 290lbs. Arnold it 220lbs. Camp body.

Not the first time they brought someone in that no one gave a chance who proved to the naysayers wrong. Let's just see what happens.

Good body to have around. Hard to find someone his size that is even ok. Really need him on the PS.

he'll be cut first round if he lasts that long
