Therein lies the problem ... Injury is about the only way. Guess you gotta keep grooming them just in case.

For all we know it's not about his skills and what he has shown, rather the absence of an opportunity. Keep in mind he was first on deck when Meachum was injured and was in danger of missing the first playoff game.

AA best chance is actually 2011 (if there's football) if we don't do anything with Lance's contract, we would probably trade or lose Lance and bump up AA.

... and Graham looks like he's going to make it. The Saints have a lot of people who can catch the ball. I think you have to include Reggie in the mix as well considering how many passes he catches, even though they don't go past 5 yards in the air that often. Arrington would have to show something exceptional to make it to the final roster.

Agreed, AA is a long shot at best. The only way he could possibly make this roster is if the injury bug hits, so on those grounds I hope he doesn't make it. Seriously though, had he not been injured he would have had a nice opportunity to get into the mix. Just don't see it now, the Saints are so set at the position.

its a shame that he had to play behind so many studs that are now successful in the NFL in braylon edwards, steve breaston, and jason avant because it gave him less reps and less opportunities

this is his last season here.....i like his potential but like one of the "experts" said during the draft.......potential is a fancy word for hasnt shown anything yet

also did'nt he leave college in his jr. year? i think he did and its the only reason he's still a payton experiment.

I've been pulling for him since he first came in and looked so good...he's going to have to have a great camp.

st thomas · 05-11-2010, 11:29 PM

a great camp and i hate to say it but someone gets banged up. thats when he has to make the statement.

SaintPauly · 05-11-2010, 11:59 PM

I've seen college footage of this kid, and he made some great plays with Michigan. Had really good hands, made tough catches in traffic. Was even really good at getting extra yards after the catch. But I haven't really seen him do squat at the next level. I agree, one more training camp, and it's a do or die situation for sure.
