Ive seen him play a few times. I wouldn't be surprised if he at least makes a strong push for the 53 man roster. Its unlikely but possible

Re: Saints UDFA Signings

C/G Cory Helms, South Carolina

Re: Saints UDFA Signings

Keith Kirkwood- WR 6’3 220lb Temple

Overview : Height, weight, speed prospect who checks all of the character boxes and has intriguing potential that is waiting to be developed.

Taylor Stallworth- DT 6’2 312lb South Carolina

Overview: Stallworth has some limitations and he may not be a factor on rush downs, but he carries a compact, powerful frame and outstanding body control to fight through contact and come out on the right side. His talented handwork could give him the early upper hand in NFL camps .

Cory Helms 6’4 309 C/G South Carolina

Helms appears to have enough play strength to hold up at the point of attack, but he may lack the athleticism to see his blocks through against NFL talent.

Biggest UDFA guarantee I've heard so far: $90,000 for TE Deon Yelder with the #Saints ($15K bonus, $75K base guarantee) and CB Tarvarus McFadden with the #49ers ($20K/$70K).

He might make the team...

Re: Saints UDFA Signings

I wonder who the Gem will be this year? Maybe even a couple of them.

One year wonder starter
52 receptions 688 yards 7 TDS

Strengths:

Compact frame with good mass. Plays with admirable toughness through catch contact and as a blocker. Operates with good pad level into his initial block in run game. Runs feet under his hands to create leverage and sustain blocks. Displays footwork and angles to become a more competent blocker at point of attack. Can make necessary adjustments to pull in throws that are left behind him on crossing routes. Good scrambler to find open space when route stalls and play extends. Used on shovel passes, as goal line wildcat option and as runner on fake punts

Meet Deon Yelder, the underrated gem of the 2018 TE class

There are plenty of recognizable names from bigger programs among this year’s tight end class, but if you’re looking for a late-round sleeper who could make some noise at the next level, Western Kentucky’s Deon Yelder has all the tools to be that guy.

A well-rounded prospect who excelled in his first season as a starter in 2017, Yelder recently spoke exclusively with Draft Wire about his experience at the Senior Bowl, why his pro day performance helped ease his disappointment over not getting a combine invite, and why he can help a team win a Super Bowl.

Read more below.

Re: Saints UDFA Signings

I changed my mind on the gem. I think it will be Nate Wozniak "The Wozinater) clever using his first name lol

Re: Saints UDFA Signings

QB JT Barrett will be participating in rookie minicamp.

Re: Saints UDFA Signings

We are bringing in a lot of O-line, tight ends and defensive tackles. Maybe a couple of them will continue to give us good production from our UDFA rookies.

Yes sir.

Remember Payton kept Pierre Thomas over a draft pick in A Pittman? More recently UDFA Ken Crawley starting over PJ.

I really like Yelder though. One of these UDFA will make this team & contribute.

I like this guy. Strong hitter even though he looks thin. Quicker than he is fast, but probably underestimated on the field.

Re: Saints UDFA Signings

This Keith Kirkwood can really play. He plays a lot like Mike Thomas. Kirkwood is tall, long arms, phenominal hands, goes across the middle, catches balls in traffic, is a legit route runner even if his speed looks average. He showed some ability to break tackles. I like him better than Treyquan Smith.

Re: Saints UDFA Signings

Yelder 6'3'' 255 TE 2nd Pos H Back. Convert to pass catching, running FB.

My money is on Serigne. Yes, I’m a homer, but the guy is a great pass catcher. Set the all-time ACC records for catches, yards, and TDs by a TE, breaking Eric Ebron’s marks from a few years ago. If he played at Miami, he would’ve been drafted.
