Saints signing wide receiver Kyle Prater, source says

By Katherine Terrell, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune

The New Orleans Saints have signed Northwestern wide receiver Kyle Prater, according to a league source.
Prater started his career at Southern California, where he was coached by current Saints receivers coach John Morton.
The 6-foot-5, 225-pound Illinois native caught 51 passes for 535 yards in his senior season with the Wildcats.
Prater participated in rookie minicamp with the Cleveland Browns last weekend.
He didn't know Morton was with the Saints until he arrived in New Orleans.
"I just found out when I got here," Prater said. "I knew Coach Mo was with San Francisco. I thought he was still there. I got here and I was like, 'Oh, Coach Mo is here.' We have a past relationship. He's a great coach."

Love this signing. Total late round/UDFA player that Payton and Brees could potentially make a solid player for years to come.

He was a highly recruited player coming into college. Talent isn't the question here... hopefully we can coach him up.

Toon, Coleman and Jones better bring their "A" games...

This guy was a favorite of Morton at USC who's now the WR coach...

With the Morgan signing, WR corps just got interesting...

Good young man. Has the size and hands. Looks horribly slow and stiff.

he can run Jimmy's' routes. the kid does an excellent job catching with his hands, solid body control and an excellent catch radius

looking forward to seeing Browner match up with him in camp

I wouldn't go that far maybe but he looks like a long strider.
