Saints Sign WR Dan Arnold, 6'6" 220lbs - Jimmy Graham Replacement?

Seems interesting. From the highlights it looks like he is hard to bring down after the catch.

It will likely come down to what's between his ears. Can he grasp the Saints offense quick enough?

If he can...and if he can block...he is not only a Graham replacement but a possible a Graham upgrade.

Good point and this is why I think Brandon Coleman is safe as the #4 WR. He is not a popular guy but he knows Sean Payton's playbook & can block. Our offense is complicated so there is the trust factor.

Dan Arnold could make a solid PS candidate unless he goes beast mode at camp. With a little polish, he could be the future.

Training camp is his audition.
