  • Callaway is going to be dang this year as long as he stays healthy and will be better when Thomas is back
  • Running backs didn’t get too many reps/looks for obvious reasons 
  • Lil’Jordan Humphrey looks like he’ll make the roster this year, he’s physical and his hands are looking strong

  • Kevin White didn’t have the best day, but then again he’s been in the team less than a week
  • Dwayne Washington is a tough runner 
  • Wynton McManis is a stud and should be in the starting rotation and play on all special teams 
  • Ken Crawley looks like a solid option for cornerback two
  • Aldrick Rosas could be a solid kicker until Lutz comes back, he made a 52 yard kick 
  • Blake Gillikin had a LEG and the punt team will be elite 
  • The defense is elite
  • Everyone in the linebacker room has so much talent that the Saints will lose someone they don’t want to lose to get to 53 players on the roster
