Saints Pick Akeim Hicks DT - Regina Canada

dizzle88 · 04-28-2012, 03:26 AM

Looks like a very versatile player, playing DE and DT but the guy is huge and has good closing speed for a DT, he may need to work on his strength and technique as he's going against some of the best guards in the league, could be a diamond in the rough with tons of upside, he's on our team now so let's root for him

NFL.com's link had him listed as a DE at 6'4" 318 lbs. 5.22 in the 40. Had to do a double take on that one.

This guy graded just over a 50 I believe. Probably because of the Canadian program he was in. Anyone know what the prob was when he was trying to enroll at LSU???

Major NCAA violations result in probation for LSU football

LSU provided him with transportation and hotel room when they were recruiting him, so it wasn't his fault...

So the guy might just be our diamond this year?

now i have to redo tomorrows listing for the draft. this is a reach in my book but i wanted the saints to pick him. a round or two later but heck he is a saint now.

no more short DT one day. saints start batting down passes at the line.
