Why Does Devery Henderson Start?

I dont think starting really matters in this offense anyway. Every ball handler, except Brees, rotates in and out.

I dont remember seeing Devery in that many snaps Sunday night. We used a lot more tight and heavy formations. I didnt see a lot of that spread out one where we look like the run and shoot.

He actually had the second most snaps among our receivers. Colston led with 46 and Devery was second with 42. He's an excellent blocker, makes safeties aware he's on the field, and produces when his number is called upon... it just so happens he's low in the pecking order.

Both Devery and Meachem play key roles in our offense... regardless of what their numbers suggest. And to top it off, you never hear a peep from either of them. Love them both.
