But he found his inner strength, and his story is Saints legend and lore now...

Regardless of what HE thought, there was no way the team was going to cut him if they were forced to go to the 80 player figure. They will ALWAYS give a drafted player every chance possible.

Given perennial winners draft better than 35% that means several teams annually draft players that make the roster at even a lower percentage for the overall average to be 35%.

Besides, the 80 player limit must be met August 30, meaning 90 players in camp for the first full month plus. It's simply not a big deal at all. They were cutting back to 75 back when Strief was drafted before that date.
