Re: Arrington Steal of the Draft
I've seen some people say he will just be a camp body. That's incorrect. He will not only make the team which is stock full with Colston, Meachem, Patten, Henderson, Patten, Moore, Green, etc.. but he will play on Sundays.
I know he's being compared to Colston in terms of where he was picked (7th round) But I like to compare him to Colston bc he is a big receiver (6'3) and makes spectacular catches. He doesn't drop the ball. At times he was more consistent than Mario Manningham (whom I think is one of the best receivers in NCAA last yr) I'm sooo excited we got another big possession wide receiver.. I hope now Bush can play in the slant more with Deuce & Thomas healthy in the back field.. This offseason has been much more impressive than last years. I'm pumped. |

Re: Arrington Steal of the Draft
Imaginative pick. Worthy decision to try him out. You never know.
Could make special teams - can take and make a tackle. We may have a very reasonable backup by mid-season |

Colston, Mecheum, Patton
Adrian Arrington - Michigan, 6029,203, 4.55 Todd Blythe - Iowa St. 6'5, 214, 4.58 Henderson is safe due to his speed at WR. or is he? 3 rookies and 3 vets. I like this grouping of WR. |

Re: Arrington Steal of the Draft
Lets not get too carried away yet. Dude is a 7th round pick, and he has an uphill battle to make the team. The Saints are pretty loaded at WR so it's no gimme that he makes it. I do hope he makes it, because if he does that means he was better than someone on the current roster. It's a very nice thing to have big guys catching the ball. The big guys just get the first downs and continue drives. It's always nice to have a big WR who can catch a 7 yard pass on 3rd and 8 and just bull an extra yard to get a first down. It's going to be interesting to see what this guy has.
