New Orleans Saints draft Alabama S Vinnie Sunseri in 5th round

Hes not as slow as some suggest, he ran a 4.57 at the combine recovering from an ACL. He could have skipped the 40 but decided to run anyway.

He ran 4.48-4.52 at his pro day, which is fairly fast for a SS.

NFLDraftscout projected him as a 5-6 rounder, and the 5th best SS in the draft.

To run those times after ACL surgery is super impressive. The fastest 40 times for all safeties in 2013 combine was Eric Reid (4.53) and Kenny Vaccaro was the bottom tier at 4.63. If Vinnie is completely healthy come training camp, with those jets surely he can become a special team ace.
This is a Saban coached kid so I'm sure he brings something to the table.

Speed kills.

Yeah. That's great speed for a SS. I didn't like the pick at first, but I think I want to see him get some run over Rapheal Bush. He's a ball hawk.
