Former CFL Journeyman Adam Bighill determined to make his mark with the Saints
After six seasons in the CFL, linebacker Adam Bighill is out to deliver on the opportunity of his lifetime. by John J. Hendrix@JohnJHendrix Mar 22, 2017, 4:05pm CDT Photo by Derek Leung/Getty Images The New Orleans Saints have had a pretty rich history of tapping into the depths of Canada to find football talent. This season, the team brought in the likes of Adam Bighill, Forrest Hightower, and Anthony Gaitor - all defensive players - to the 2017 mix. On the surface, not much is known about these particular players, but that’s about to change as we first focus on Bighill in a three-part series. New Orleans was the only professional tryout for Bighill, and that’s all it took. With onlookers Sean Payton, Mickey Loomis, and Terry Fontenot all in attendance for the big tryout in mid-December with over 15 players, Bighill was one that made a huge impression. "He blew us away in the workout," Fontenot said. "He's explosive and fun to watch." Bighill was rewarded on Jan. 4 with a three-year deal by the Saints after playing 99 games in his six-year stint with the Lions, totaling 489 defensive tackles, 69 special teams tackles, 33 sacks, 8 interceptions, 8 forced fumbles, and a touchdown. “The opportunity with the Saints is everything I’ve worked for. My whole life has been to get this opportunity,” Bighill said. http://www.canalstreetchronicles.com...orleans-saints |

Re: Former CFL Journeyman Adam Bighill determined to make his mark with the Saints
This guy looks like he's gonna be an animal. He makes teammates look slow and lackadaisical and has a serious motor. Can't wait to see what he can do. At the very worst, he's a possible special teams standout.

Re: Former CFL Journeyman Adam Bighill determined to make his mark with the Saints
Really hopes this works out. Longshot but he seems like a player with a lot of things that can't be measured that inspires others.
