Get to know the New Orleans Saints rookie class: From Alex Anzalone to Marcus Williams

SmashMouth · 05-12-2017, 03:42 PM

With the New Orleans Saints opening their rookie mini-camp on this weekend, you'll be hearing and reading about many of the new players for the first time.
In an effort to better acquaint you with the newest additions to the roster, here's a "Did ya know?" tidbit about each of the 19 first-year Saints:

LB Alex Anzalone (Florida)
One of the top prospects in the nation at Wyomissing (Pa.) High School, Anzalone initially committed to Ohio State and Notre Dame before settling on the University of Florida, the alma mater of his father, Dr. Sal Anzalone.

OL Collin Buchanan (Miami, Ohio)
The highest-rated prospect of the Saints' 12 undrafted players, Buchanan had four separate games in college in which he did not allow a single pass pressure, according to Pro Football Focus.

LS Chase Dominguez (Utah)
His identical twin brother, Reid, played volleyball at Cal-Irvine. Their parents, Ron and Tamara Dominguez are hair stylists.

Lol like the time they put into that one. More there about the talent of his brother and parents that are hair dressers than on him lol.

Seriously though I don't get wasting a roster
Spot on a LS. With all the talent in the NFL it seems another player in a different position could handle that.

Sure they could. But would fans and coaches be willing to see the rate of successful long-snaps drop from 99.98% to 96%? That's about what I think the drop off would be.
