Saints sign RB/WR/KR Velus Jones Jr. (52 Viewers)

Didn't Velus put a professional career or advanced level of education on hold to play football? I seem to remember something like that from Hard Knocks.
 
I like that idea, because he's got speed, quickness and supposedly really good vision and balance on contact. If that's true, then I think he's the perfect backup ups specifically to Kamara. Meaning if Kamara is out with injury or needs a breather, they can use Jones the same way they use Kamara. Not saying he'd be as good, but good enough to keep the offensive game plan rolling without Kamara.

I think Edwards-Helaire has similar ability if my memory of him at LSU is correct. I think the RB unit is in good shape at the moment going into the draft. I don't think they have to reach for a RB.
If Miller can stay healthy I really think we are in pretty good shape @ RB. But depending on how the draft falls , like if we get T-mac @ 9 and maybe Grant @ 40 or an edge. We could take Taylor or Arroyo with one of the 3rds and a RB with the other

He may have potential to be a decent back, but the rb position needs an upgrade, I don’t think his signing will play a role in the teams draft decision. He is more than likely an extra back for practice more than a plug and play player.

I think with his addition to the RB group, they won't be going into the draft thinking they have to draft a RB.
 
I definitely don't want Sheed to be anywhere back there during preseason.
Shaheed had meniscus surgery. He'll be healthy long before training camp. The meniscus will either hold up, or it won't - the number of reps isn't relevant. If it doesn't hold up, he'll get it trimmed this time instead of surgery, and he'll still be able to play after a few weeks. The issue then is how long he can play.
