Should be our replacement for Sproles... reading the scouting report its identical to sproles.

You say that like I'm a fool for guessing. Meanwhile we have Cadet returning kickoffs.

Picking up a receiver that the Jets and Seahawks didn't use tells me that we'll probably only hear this guy's name one more time. When the Saints release him.

The Browns cut Lance Moore,250 times a team had a shot at picking up Marques Colston,nobody drafted Wes Welker etc

The are rare but there is always a chance that he fits

I disagree. Wrong position and totally different body. In his prime Sproles was a stud every down tailback. Scouting report says Sproles has 40lbs on him too.

Are they trying to lose?

ScottF · 11-20-2014, 01:25 PM

is the underlying meaning here that we are getting PT or Robinson back and do not need Leonard?
Toon has been a healthy scratch several times, so apparently WR depth really isn't the issue

I heard of this guy when playing fan duel last year. He was often suggested as a start on the cheap. And he comes from Oklahoma also. Stills has been okay but I think Saunders may have been the higher receiver there? He could be better who knows. I like his name. It sounds like a lot of past saints receivers names.

He certainly looks good from his YouTube footage

Punt returner and WR at OSU, has very good speed, his route running is probably the best part of his game, he sells the double move really well.
