In the Chicago game earlier this year Jed Collins had 4 catches for 17 yards and 3 Carries for 11 yards. Now you look at this and say, these numbers suck, but in reality they were a key part of a New Orleans win. Because of these plays we were able to control the ball nicely. I then thought to myself, what if this became a thing with someone who is more capable. That's where I think Austin Johnson comes in. He is a very well-rounded athlete and could be a huge weapon on third and medium when Jimmy Graham is getting all the attention (That is if we sign him next year.) Everyone expects a throw past the the first down marker, and that would be the perfect time to hit Austin Johnson with a nice short yardage pass to keep the drive alive. Obviously he would never have 50 yard games or even 25 yard games, but could be another trick up the Saints sleeve to keep the opponents defense in check. Might be kind of far-fetched but I believe it could work.
