Hell yea, this kid will prove himself in the big lights

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

I wasn’t really big on Humphrey’s potential in the Brees-led offense that relies on timing and precise route running. With Teddy or Taysom at the helm though, we need to generate yards however we can and Humphrey is a YAC monster.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Here's hoping he picks up where he left off his previous year with the Longhorns. He has real upside.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Lil Jordan Humphrey aka Little Marques Colston Jr.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

I think he's going to be a factor in time. I'm excited.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

MY training camp dark horse!!!

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

This guy can catch the ball. He is the real deal. Too bad he only runs a 4.65 40 yard dash... but he knows how to high point the ball and doesn't drop the ball. He also know how to screen the defender and runs over multiple defenders. He is a really good big WR.

He may be one of our greatest FAs ever. :doh:

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

I was always high on Lil Jordan even during the combine. His numbers are flashy but his size, power, and ball skills translate well to the field. Butler was the training camp darling but under the lights, Lil Jordan brought it. He will give TB or TH a big target that actually is better in space than Colston was. He still needs some work on the route tree though. Here’s to hoping he can have a big game.

And Cook needs to step up and start contributing.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

I wanted him on roster from day one. He doesn't take **** from anyone. He's a real football player. He'll mug the hell out of DB's just for the hell of it.

Going to be pure gold if he gets a few grabs. Hearing them say 'Lil' Jordan Humprey lol. I want this to happen.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Love the move

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

I'm going to snag him tomorrow. My team is so stout I may insert him in the flex. Ok, maybe not but I will put him on my roster. I have a spot.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Since I am a Longhorns fan I saw a whole lot of him. For his first few games there I was like "Look at how big he is. Why don't they put him on the outside on the opposite side of Collin Johnson? Why is he in the slot?"


Then I saw why he belongs in the slot. Dude is tenacious in that role. Payton loves guys that cause mismatches and LilJordan is like that. Not many nickelbacks gonna be able to bring him down.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

He's just nasty, the way he plays. He was former RB. He brings it. If he is on the field this week he'll make plays. Either as a receiver or straight up mauling as a blocker. Good move.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

He’s a young Anquan Boldin

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Here we go again relying on an UDFA to step up as a wide receiver.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Precisely.

I still hope we bring in a veteran at some point this season.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Me too. I wonder how Dez is doing?

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

No clue on Dez.

Just looking at the WR roster, MT & Ginn are the only 2 with real experience. Not to mention Tre is day to day with the ankle issue. There will come a game when Mike gets bottled up & the supporting cast will need to provide crucial catches and keep the chains moving.

I just can't put too much stock into unproven, rookie wide receivers.

I hope Jordan does well. He's no longer facing the 3's and 4's on Sunday.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

DEZ BRYANT

Teddy can hit him

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

One play? That's it? 18-1 :bng:

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Both him and Butler are going to be factors. I think we hit the jackpot with WRs. Prior to his injury, Tre'quan was proving that he is a force to be reckoned with . Hopefully he's back quickly.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

With both Smith and Kirkwood out I figured they would bring up 2 receivers. Do you think we are only bringing up Humphrey because they plan on running the ball more? I really expected Carr or Butler play.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Smith is only out short term. They'd have to sacrifice a different roster spot to bring up Butler, too.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Thanks.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Humphrey made plays in the preseason and has great after the catch skills that are surprising for a big man.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

If Jordan can reproduce those type of plays against quality starters I'll be equally impressed.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Lil’ Jordan ;)

NFL NETWORK PLAYER BIO :p

Will be a matchup Tight End or Big Slot in the NFL
3rd Best Receiver in Texas Football History!

Humphrey's older brother wanted his new sibling to be named for basketball star Michael Jordan but that first name was too simple for his mother, who went off-script for Lil'Jordan. Despite his size, he was a running back at famed Southlake Carroll High School in Texas. He was a two-time all-state pick and Offensive Player of the Year in District 7-6A as a senior (184-1,292-7.2, 14 TD rushing; 57-876-15.4, 8 TD receiving). Texas coaches saw his 6-4 frame and moved him to receiver immediately; he played in 10 games as a reserve and on special teams (2-15-7.5 receiving). Humphrey was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection as a sophomore, starting 6 of 12 games played (37-431-11.6, one TD receiving; 6-41-6.8, one TD rushing). League coaches voted him honorable mention all-conference in 2018, as he started 12 of 14 games and led the Longhorns with 86 receptions, 1,176 receiving yards (13.7 average) and nine touchdown receptions.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

I'll stick to Southlake :cool:. This young man is way too big and tall to be called "Lil" anything.

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

You noticed I took off the "Lil" too. :cool:

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

I like the Lil'Jordan moniker. It's original, unlike the other bajillion parents who named their kid Jordan after His Airness (no offense if you named your kid Jordan)

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Is Lil his real birth name?

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Yes. Lil'Jordan

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

TMI... at least that's what his GF may or may not have said. ;)

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

That's more than we got out of Jairus Byrd ;)

Re: Saints Promote WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey to Active Roster
 

Bump ...

Saw Southlake (Jordan H) in on a couple of plays vs Seattle.

Hopefully he is at least targeted once/twice this weekend. I'm pretty certain Dallas is game planning for Kamara/MT ... like last year.
