Will Devery Henderson make this team?

We once thought Devery would be a perennial explosive wideout that scared opposing defenses, and his stat line always looked good with this huge yards per catch and some nice deep TD's. But during this time he frustrated fans and the coaching staff with drops and sporadic efforts.

He has really come around as a player. He worked through the drops and has become a pretty consistent clutch receiver. I was even more impressed with him on our SB run when Brees went to him in situations that would have terrified me in the past. He's a quiet guy, plays his role, fills in as a returned when needed and can still be a very effective receiving option. With Meachem continuing to be a worse enigma than a young Devery was, Arrington having shown nothing but a pre-season flash, and Moore up in the air, I think Devery is a much needed WR in our system.

We have no training camp to speak of and knowing the routes and scheme will be key. I think we'd be crazy to go without him especially with the conditions this year.
