Who is your dark horse for the 53 man roster?
The gang brought up a good topic on the show below. (Thanks for the post, Smash) Who would you select as your dark horse after OTA's and minicamp? That is, what player that hasn't really received much hype do you think makes the initial cut to 53?

Re: Who is your dark horse for the 53 man roster?
I'll go first. I've heard lots of talk around here about a supposed lack of depth at LB and the desire for the Saints to hit the free agent market to add to that depth. I've mentioned this before, but I think the front office is cautiously optimistic that they already have the needed depth on the current 90 man roster at LB. While D'Marco Jackson is one possibility of quality depth, I really think that it's UDFA Anfernee Orji who's got them excited. I really think he's going to be making that cut and and making a move for one of the aging vets at LB unnecessary.
We all know that Dennis Allen believes in the 4-2 and using the nickel extensively. Any LB behind Davis and Werner are basically either backups to those two positions or special teams regulars. |

Not sure how much of a dark horse he is, but I'm looking for Kendre Miller to make the final cut.

Re: Who is your dark horse for the 53 man roster?
Ugo Amadi and Nick Anderson are my two favorites for dark horse. I think they mentioned both of them in their podcast and they make good sense for a dark horse candidate. Nick Anderson, from Tulane, is a local favorite but the way Brooke described his game he has a non stop motor, he's a great tackler, and he covers well. He might be too small for the NFL though.

Besides, he's got the tools necessary to be good in the NFL and our scouts liked him enough to draft him. |
