Daniel Lasco

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Not a very productive year, and inactive most of the time. Anybody think he sees the field more in 2017? With Hightower on the market it would be nice to have Plan B in house already when dressed he played ...

Re: Daniel Lasco

I really don't know much about him. I wonder if Hightower gets some looks from other teams this year. I doubt he's going to sign for vet minimum so Lasco may move up the depth chart.

Re: Daniel Lasco

I think that Lasco will see more action this year. I feel he was hampered by nagging injuries and rookie inexperience, I have hope for Lasco ,let's see what he does in the preseason. This year's draft is deep in the RB dept. I could see the Saints picking a late rd RB.

Re: Daniel Lasco

The way Ingram and Hightower ran, Lasco shouldn't have seen the field even if he was healthy.

Unless we lose Hightower, I'm content to see this kid on ST and maybe KR.

Re: Daniel Lasco

He will be gone. Decent pick though for a 7th rounder:

At the 2016 NFL Combine, Lasco had an 11-foot, three inch broad jump which set the combine record for a running back

Re: Daniel Lasco

Payton's pretty high on him. Called his progression outstanding. Great special teams player as well. He'll have a bigger role next season.

Re: Daniel Lasco

I seem to remember that the knocks on him prior to the draft were that he was injured often and didn't like contact.

Who knows the truth though.

Perhaps, that was true then.

He may have matured.

I do. When healthy I see power and speed. He has a good motor on special teams (as previous posters eluded to). Give him a chance, who knows he could reshape our backfield. A plus for him is youth. IIRC it took about a full season for Pierre to work his way into the rotation and started in similar fashion as Danny Lasco has.

If he can get a handle on the injuries though ...
