Saalim Hakim could be on fast track to making impact with New Orleans Saints

This guy will probably needs some more development, but I can see him making it as the 6th WR/return man. If he isn't close to being ready yet, probably a trip to IR for 2013, guys this fast do not stay hidden on practice squads.

Fast, very fast!! A few questions I would have, can he take a hit, does he go down with arm tackles, can he catch the football. If he can take hits, doesn't go down with just arm tackles and catches the ball on a regular basis, boys we have ourselves one of the fastest players that is alive on planet earth, sign him up!!

Doesn't look that fast?

With his speed at that level he can not open it up full throttle, he will out run any of his QBs arm. If your looking at his speed after the long catches.. well, he is already 5-10 yards to the endzone.

Not one player caught him from behind in that high light reel.

If his vision develops, and he can protect the ball, he gets my vote to replace Sproles on returns. Keep Darren from getting any more hits than he needs.

As long as I don't have to hear the words "Hakim drops the ball" I'll be fine.

Watch this one...

Ill call it now, he makes the team as Gunner at the very least. He gets down field faster than the ball on punts. Its also important to note the CBs give him a full 5-10 yard cushion....

I can't see him making the team at all. He has never been a starter, and has been waived from two NFL teams. He is the longest of long shots.

So.... Dallas has an eye for talent? Rams?

You can't teach speed - a rare commodity; but he'd better be able to grasp the playbook, run great routes, and CATCH DE BALL!!!
