Saints WR Kevin Austin Jr deserves more snaps (3 catches/3 first downs vs Rams)

Kevin Austin Jr., Notre Dame WR | NFL Draft Scouting Report

When WR Kevin Austin gets snaps, he’s full efforts. I love full effort players. He has great size at 6’2”+ 200+. And he is bold & thick enough to play in the middle of the field.

We need a big body that can attack middle zones.

Plus WR Marques Valdez-Scandling is a catching deep balls & blocking every game.

Plus on limited opportunities WR Dante Pettis looks explosive & reliable.

Going forward I’d love to see the trio of WR KEVIN AUSTIN, WR MVS, & WR DANTE PETTIS work as a unit. One thing I suspect… they are going to be full efforts. Plus their athletic profiles are outstanding.

What would you like to see at WR? My priority is to find role players that also have upside development.
We should use him on screens like the Rams did w/ Nacua. Unlike most on the board I think we have receiving talent on this roster even w/ out Olave and Shaheed.

Our biggest issue as a team this year has been an inability to win the LOS on both sides of the ball consistently.

On offense it’s been due to health of interior Oline, on D it’s been due to lack of talent on the interior outside of Bresee (who is mediocre against the run in his own right)
