Look forward to seeing what he can do this season. According to Article, Callaway progressed very nicely from training camp till the end of the season.

Can Marquez Callaway Become Michael Thomas' No. 2 in 2021?

Once overlooked, second-year WR Marquez Callaway looks to grab a larger role in the New Orleans offense after an impressive showing as an undrafted rookie last season.

He’s actually the only WR (not named Michael Thomas) that I have faith in. Flame away, don’t care

Don’t think it’s that outrageous of a statement.
I mean, the other guys are Tre who’s been OK but seems to be injured more than we like (he’s actually been a great blocker and is tough as nails).
After that, it’s all UDFA who are still finding their roles.

Yes very anxious to see how Callaway has progressed from last season to this season. We seem to do very well with players from Tennessee. With Kamara, Callaway and now we have Bryce Thompson.

Given that he made the roster with basically just training camp, SP and crew definitely see the potential in him.

He got a lot of praise from teammates and gave us a glimpse of what to look forward to. He does remind me a bit of MT as far as the hard work, dedication and awareness. Not to mention, he was a gunner, returner and a good blocker. Looking like another diamond in the rough.

Maybe Trequan Smith also.

Not me. Not impressed at all with him.

That Carolina game, where the Saints were w/out CGM and Sanders... Callaway strepped up and looked like a #1 WR. That game made me a believer.

The best thing about Callaway is that his biggest strength, his ability to catch down the field hasn’t even been demonstrated yet. All of the optimism as a pro comes from his abilities he didn’t demonstrate as much in college: underneath receiving, special teams, and blocking. Now that he has a QB that can play to his strength, his potential is off the charts. I think there is a very good chance he comes in like Colston in his rookie season this year. The great thing about Callaway is that there are so many ways for him to contribute because he is so well rounded. It’s really only injury that could prevent him from contributing.

He’s ok. He’s a solid #3-4 WR. The problem is that his potential is pretty capped. He is what he is at this point. That’s ok...not everyone has to be great. He’s a good blocker and can sneak up on defenses. You just don’t want to rely on him as a receiver because he struggles to separate.

You had to say it didn't you? He's going on IR now for sure.

As a rookie UDFA WR, he seemed to always know where to be, a zone killer....he has got lots of potential....

Dude! I had completely forgot about Meachem. He did very well in his time with Saints. Thanks for putting his name out there.
