Don’t sleep on second-year Saints linebacker Travis Feeney

All the focus on second-year Saints players has been on guys who made immediate impacts like Michael Thomas and Sheldon Rankins. I’m beginning a series on lowkey names to know ahead of the 2017 NFL draft.

by John Sigler Mar 24, 2017, 8:59am CDT

It’s pretty widely accepted that the New Orleans Saints are enjoying big returns on their 2016 NFL Draft class. First round draft pick Sheldon Rankins combined for 10.5-sacks with newly re-signed free agent Nick Fairley at defensive tackle. Second round picks and Ohio State Buckeyes Michael Thomas (NFL-leading 92-catches, 1,137-yards, and 9 touchdowns among rookies) and Vonn Bell, a steady presence at safety, look great so far. Other rookies like David Onyemata and Daniel Lasco found their way into prominent roles.

But enough has been written about each of those guys. I’m putting the microscope over some Saints who have been working hard under the radar, patiently waiting for their shot in training camp. This is the same tier of talent that Willie Snead, Delvin Breaux, and Tim Hightower came out of. The odds are stacked against them, but don’t tell them that.

Drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round last year, Travis Feeney (6-foot-4, 226-pounds, 24-years old) initially tried to crack the roster as a backup and special teams contributor but couldn’t displace more experienced players like Vince Williams, Anthony Chickillo, Jarvis Jones, and James Harrison. Feeney was a college teammate of Saints fan-favorite Hau’oli Kikaha on the Washington Huskies and a leader of their defense, though multiple shoulder injuries shortened Feeney’s career and hurt his draft stock. A preseason concussion shut the door on Feeney’s chance of suiting up for the Steelers during the regular season.

6-4 / 226 and can run ... he could use a little bulk but Nolan surely has something to work with here @ LB.

The potential is there.

I forgot about him. He's got the speed. Y'all know I like speed.

Speed + IQ = Jonathan Vilma

We might be trending upwards guys...here's to good fortune.

Training camp is going to be fun to watch this year. Also, I'll get to go more often with the Saints being back home for practices. I really hope this young guy has the talent that we have a good feel for finding.
