Stills Aims to Avoid Sophomore Slump

Back then, Stills recalls that he was constantly warned about the danger of a “sophomore slump” -- which he admitted was partly because of his perceived maturity issues.

Regardless, Stills said that negativity drove him then and continues to drive him now.

“You know, in college, your second year they expect you to have a sophomore slump,” Stills said this week during teammate Ben Grubbs’ charity softball game. “So that’s kind of the mentality I took to this offseason, making sure like in college you don’t have a sophomore slump. And just continuing to build and get better.

“I gained a few pounds, and my head’s been in this playbook. And I’m so focused just on football and enjoying myself and having fun. So I can’t wait for us to get going.”




Kenny Stills aims to avoid sophomore slump with New Orleans Saints - ESPN

One thing I learned from drinking. You should always go Christmas caroling with a group. Oh, and always in mid-December.

I wasn't that high on the pick but he showed plenty of potential his rookie season. He's so smooth on the field. 800 plus receiving yards and 7 touchdowns seem like a very reasonable numbers for him this year.

Payton will have Stills plenty of snaps after his performance last year.

There's no such thing as a sophomore slump for a WR in an offense with Drew Brees throwing the ball.
