Tracy Porter possibly re-signs with Saints?

Playing on the outside hasn't done him any favors either for the last 2 seasons. Porter causes so many pass interference calls because he's little and climbs receivers to break up passes.

It would be better if he knew how to tackle.

Johnny Patrick- 511 191 pds

They're all small, but at least Greer and Robinson have better verticals than Porter, which might explain some of that perceived technical weakness ChrisXVI was talking about.

Combine results for the vertical leap:

Robinson: 39.0 inches
Greer: 36.5 inches
Porter: 34.0 inches
Patrick: 32.0 inches

Average vertical leap for a corner from the past 4 year's combines and pro-day results is ~36.82 inches.
