Take Scott Boston for instance, he was so fast he was invisible until he showed up as an Eagle!!

The Feagles desperately needed depth at the position during their playoff run. Signing BS made sense.

As for "little guys", watch out for Devine Ozigbo. I think he has a legit shot to make the team.

I am curious to see how the UDFA's perform in preseason. I agree with you about Devine Ozigbo.

He will have to be crazy good as a returner AND show value as a receiver to make the team. I don't think he has the skills at either on the NFL level. Plus, as it is already, two of the Saints cuts at WR will catch on with other teams.

The reason I continue to mention Ozigbo is because the Saints/Payton see him as a possible "fit" in their offense. Kamara & Latavius are our featured guys, but not much of a sure thing behind those two. He was highly successful on those zone blocking runs at Nebraska ... something the Saints like to do.

When I think Ozigbo, I think "fit" in their offense.
