Saints TE Michael Higgins looking to make his mark

The list of players the New Orleans Saints have mined from obscure schools in the past six years is a lengthy one.

Sure, contributors like Marques Colston (Hofstra), Jahri Evans (Bloomsburg State), Jermon Bushrod (Towson State), Chris Ivory (Tiffin College) and Junior Galette (Stillman) are well-known now to die-hard fans.

Really enjoy The Advocate around this time of the year. They don't just focus on the big dogs and gives you some insight on the other guys on the team people pay no mind to. Granted a bunch of those guys you never hear a peep from, it's still refreshing nonetheless.

He looked good in his first preseason game.

Higgins, who is viewed as a unique player by offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. because of his ability to catch and block, certainly agreed.

Nice to know he's not just an extra O-lineman lining up at TE.

Sounds like he might be an excellent replacement for Thomas in a year or two.

Didn't we carry 3 last year?

Graham, Thomas, Higgins; that's my three
