New Orleans Saints Undrafted Rookie Profile: Keith Kirkwood
An inspirational story could bring underrated talent to the New Orleans receiving corps.
By Bob Rose
The New Orleans Saints have one of the best young wide receivers in the league in Michael Thomas. The rest of the Saints wideouts, however, struggled at times a year ago. Veteran Ted Ginn Jr. had one of the best years of his career in his first season as a Saint, but Brandon Coleman, Willie Snead, and Tommylee Lewis were inconsistent in their production. Snead departed as a free agent this past offseason, but New Orleans signed productive wideout Cameron Meredith away from the Chicago Bears, then used a 3rd round pick on Central Florida's Tre'quan Smith. One other name to look for as a potential contributor in 2018 is the subject of today's undrafted rookie profile.
Keith Kirkwood, WR (Temple)
Kirkwood, like many players, began playing football as a young boy, but basketball was his first love. He led his Neptune High School basketball team to the New Jersey state finals as a junior. He then returned to the gridiron his senior season, earning a scholarship offer to the University of Hawaii, where he scored 4 touchdowns on 12 catches in seven games with the Rainbow Warriors. He left Hawaii after his freshman year, enrolling with Temple after the death of a close friend, and also wanting to be closer to his daughter Aria. Kirkwood received a medical redshirt in 2015, then blossomed into a team leader over his final two seasons. Balancing the responsibilities of a father, as well as the demands of college football, Kirkwood was still a standout in the classroom, making the American Athletic Conference All-Academic team three years in a row. He was given a single digit number in his senior year (#5), traditionally given to players at Temple for exceptional character and leadership. He excelled on the football field as well, catching 87 passes for 1,319 yards and 11 touchdowns over his final two years with the Owls.

Saints HC candidate reflects on interview experience
The New Orleans Saints are the last team with a head coach opening in the NFL, so now they can really sit back and be patient before making their decision.
They have continued to interview and meet with coaches for the last few weeks and it seems to be down to a few top candidates. One person still in the mix is current New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.
Kafka is currently coaching at the Senior Bowl, with the rest of the NFL world watching, and got a chance to speak with the media about his thoughts on his interviews with the Saints.

Report: Underrated coach candidate made a 'strong impression' with Saints
The New Orleans Saints flew out to Philadelphia to meet with Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore. The aggressiveness of this move suggests he is the Saints main target, but don’t count out Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator, Anthony Weaver.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Weaver “has come up often as a candidate that’s made a strong impression.”
Of the names who have interviewed, Moore, Weaver, Mike Kafka and Darren Rizzi, Fowler’s report could suggest Weaver has an advantage over most of the candidates. Weaver has been the recipient of positive endorsements

New Jets HC Aaron Glenn implies he never truly considered Saints job
The New Orleans Saints had a ton of interest in bringing in Aaron Glenn to be their next head coach. While he did meet with the team, it appears that the interest may not have been entirely mutual.
Seeing as though Glenn chose the New York Jets at his first chance, it is clear that they were his top choice. In his introductory press conference, though, it appears that they were the only team he really considered:
Glenn played for both teams, but did spend much longer in New York during his playing career. He was just most recently with the Saints, so there was some hope that he would...

Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland discussed a wide variety of topics on the “Breakin’ House Rules” podcast hosted by NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, but his commentary on Anthony Weaver stood out. The Dolphins defensive coordinator New Orleans Saints fans is a finalist in the team’s head coaching search, and few know him better than his own star players.
Holland had exceptionally high praise for Weaver, and even went as far as to call him “galvanizing,” saying a move to head coach would bring the best out of him. He was asked what he would say to people who are asking how Weaver would be...
