Fourth-round pick Rick Leonard back as Saints begin assembling practice squad

Re: Fourth-round pick Rick Leonard back as Saints begin assembling practice squad

Despite the fourth-round pick the Saints invested on him, rookie tackle Rick Leonard was unable to make the team's initial 53-man roster this weekend.

But his time in New Orleans hasn't come to an end.

Leonard has agreed to come back to be a member of the Saints' practice squad, the 10-member group New Orleans began assembling at noon.

New Orleans also brought in another team's failed fourth-round pick. Vince Biegel, a former Wisconsin linebacker drafted in the fourth round of the 2017 draft by the Green Bay Packers, is joining the practice squad, a source confirmed to The Advocate.

Whew, so glad that 7-FA we took in the fourth round didn't get away...

We could've done something really stupid like taken Stanford TE Dalton Schultz or other in the fourth round and cut 'em... ;)
