New Orleans Saints sign Devon Walker (Safety #987)
 

A four-year letterman at Tulane, Walker played for the Green Wave from 2009-12. He joined the team as a walk-on in 2009 and had moved into the starting lineup and was named a team captain as a senior in 2012. Opening the second game of his senior campaign on Sept. 8 at Tulsa, Walker suffered a career-ending spinal injury when he collided with a teammate while attempting to make a tackle just seconds before halftime. Walker injured his C3 and C4 vertebrae, which left him paralyzed from the neck down and spent over three months in the hospital before returning home in December 2012.

Obviously they aren't happy with Vaccaro, Byrd or Bush.

This has a feel good story to it.


Then again we have Byrd then Vaccaro, then a handful of near equal talent. Would kick ass if he fell in clearly above Bush.

Nah. They also have Jordan Jefferson and Jacob Hester working out. It's early.

Great gesture from the team signing him on the day of his graduation, hate to see it when any player suffers the kind of injury he did that changes his life forever

congrats to walker for always staying positive through tough times
