[SAINT BIGAL]

I think he showed tonight that he deserves an opportunity to get more playing time. What I saw more than anything tonight was his vision and toughness.

 

[CJL]

Most thing I love about him he never goes out of bounds lowers his head and tries to get as much yards as he can!

 

[FlySaint]

He’s a player. Really liked what I saw of him tonight.

I’m actually more impressed with his route running than what he did as a returner tonight. He’s getting good separation and comes back to the ball instead of waiting for the ball to get to him. He looks to be sure handed and reliable. I think this kid will be everything we were hoping for when we claimed Carr couple of years back.

Props. Dude caught all of the passes thrown his way and looked decisive on pr and kr

Calloway > TreQuan

You forget that outside and seal down blocking is a huge part of our offense.
And Tre’quan is one of the best in the league.

That was impressive. He knew he needed about a yard and a half to get the first and made it happen despite being able to easily step out of bounds. That's a football player right there.

He looked kind of slow returning those kicks. However, he did get the job done and had some nice returns. His running style reminds me a lot of Colston!

He looked quick to me.

What can we get for Michael Thomas?

Great game.

If our 7th round rookie deserved his own thread, I think that Callaway should definitely also have his own thread.

I had Callaway as my #31 WR prospect in the draft, but had him as 4th-5th round prospect. I haven’t been this excited about a late round/UDFA Saints player since Marques Colston (who dominated the Shrine game the year he came out).

I asked one of the most respected draftniks that I know about about Callaway. He actually had Marquez Callaway as his #2 WR on his big board. He was higher on Kamara than anyone I knew. Before the draft said he would be the best RB. Pretty ballsy, but gave very good reasons for his very optimistic ranking.

“As perfect as Alvin Kamara. What is it with the Saints picking up undervalued Tennessee players recently? First it was Alvin. Then last year they signed Shy Tuttle as an undrafted free agent and he started several games for them. And now they get a guy who I think is gonna be one of the biggest steals in this draft.

With Callaway think DeAndre Hopkins when it comes to skill set. He's got AMAZING hands. And when I say amazing I mean it. He makes one handed catches in the redzone on jump ball fades look easy. This guy is not a body catcher. He's a guy who high points the football well. He's great in the redzone on jump ball fades despite being just 6'2". He consistently makes contested catches down the field Mossing defenders despite his relatively average measurables. He's not the biggest or fastest guy like Hopkins but he just knows how to play receiver.

Given how successful players with similar skill sets to Callaway have had in Sean Payton's system (i.e. Marques Colston/Michael Thomas), I personally couldn't think of a better team for him to go to. If I were a Saints fan I would be celebrating. He's going to be a steal.”

Game Ball!

 

[Infoman]

He blocks. He catches the ball. He runs tuff. He’s versatile.

Love it. He’s earned more snaps IMHO

 

[dataussie]

i like how much he fights for yards after the catch. he doesnt go down easy.
