Ruiz felt like a reach maybe after the Saints just missed out on Justin Jefferson and Kenneth Murray in back to back picks. Just my opinion |

Re: Has the light come on for Ruiz?
Over drafted, no. The last player that was over drafted I recall was Baptiste. I.e he was a reach in that drafted before he was predicted to be drafted. Turner and Davenport may have been too. I don’t think Peat fits that description though. He went about where he was supposed to.

Re: Has the light come on for Ruiz?

His father and I are the same age. His father went to Champagne Central High School which is in the middle of the state of Illinois. The first time I met his dad we were seniors being recruited by Northern Illinois. His dad played guard in the league for a long time. I just remember seeing his dad on that college visit. I can remember it was 1981 like it was yesterday. His dad had one of those letterman jackets on with five varsity letters all over it and I only had played my senior year. I hadn’t gotten my letter yet so I had stuff my mom gave me to make up really my letterman’s coat. His dad went on to have a great career at Northern, he was drafted, played a long time. This guy has all the things you look for. He is smart. He is big. He is very athletic. He is built much differently than his father, his stature. |

Long before Saints drafted Andrus Peat, Sean Payton was impressed by his dad |
