The New Orleans Saints have reported that they have come to an agreement with rookie WR Adrian Arrington on a three year deal.
Arrington was the last pick in this years draft and was chosen in the seventh round by the Saints, 237th overall. A pick they received via a trade with Greenbay for a 2009 6th round pick.
The 6'3, 192 pound receiver 192-pound receiver who played 35 career games for the University of
Michigan, catching 109 passes for 1,438 yards (13.2 avg.) and 16
touchdowns.
He received good praises from coach Shaun Payton during the rookie mini-camp. He has shown great catching ability and good intelligence. During camp he was compared to Marques Colston because of his good hands combined with speed and size.

Arrington chose to forgo a remaining year of college eligibility after
posting career highs as a junior with 67 grabs for 882 yards with eight
touchdowns, earning the Desmond Howard Award as the Wolverines' top
receiver.
During the Capitol one Bowl game Arrington destroyed the Florida Gators secondary. He finished his final game as a Wolverine with 9 catches for 153 yds and 2 TD's. If you didn't see that game or may have forgoton it check out the video. He makes a number of amazing catches on the Gator secondary.
He's expected to battle it out with the other Saints recievers for the #3 spot on the roster. With Devery Henderson and Lance moore having inconsistant seaons last year the Saints couldn't have enough playmakers at this position. Also the Saints feel they lack another good receiver to compliment top wideout Marques Colston.
Coaches and fans alike expect some good years of production from Arrington. With last years 1st round pick Robert Meachem looking good also in mini-camp and OTA's the Saints are building on what was already considerd a high powerd offense. One that they hope can get back to form after a rough start last season.
The "Who Dat's" will be out in full force at Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss. next week to see if this kid earn himself a roster spot. I'm excited about his potential and it seems the Saints are as well.
Michigan really exposed us last year. Great coaching job by Lloyd Carr. If I were a head coach, I would have passed over our secondary all day and all night.
Fortunately, as a Gator fan, I tend to mentally eliminate all losses from the previous season, or at least drink through them to the point of forgetting they ever happened.
Rev.,
Carr did do a great job of coaching his final game. What I can't understand though is no matter how young your secondary was for the Gators, how the hell did they continue to let this kid get that wide open. Geez you'd think they would have rolled a safety over toward him.
Maybe they was more worried about Mario Manningham and forgot this kid was good as well.

Agreed but the defense wasn't as bad all you as it was that game. I've learned one thing though in my years of watching college football. That's always expect anything to happen!
Hey gambitxxx - Are you excited about the Saints trading for Jeremy Shockey? Supposedly it's a done deal. I think he's a GREAT addition to the Saints. He's one of the elite Tight Ends in the league, and a dangerous weapon for Cool Brees. I'm excited that he's out of the NFC East. What do you think about it? It's basically the same trade the Giants turned down before.
The new hometown hero, Jeremy Shockey, visits a young Gambit in his hospital bed, head still bandaged after his tragic, yet drunken, ATV accident.
Gambit asks Shockey to score a touchdown for him against division rival Tampa Bay, only to get slamtackled by Derrick Brooks, fumble recovered by Ronde to be returned for a glorious touchdown and an NFC South Championship for the Buccaneers.
Then Gambit pays me the bottle of whiskey he owes me.
Hey guys I just got home been out with a female friend all day today. I knew this was going to happen sooner or later but thought another team was going to step up and offer something better.
Rev you real funny dude but you'll be buying that bottle of whiskey when Shockey goes on to have totals of 215 yds and 4 TD's in two games against the Buc's. You guys will read wat I think soon.
The perfect breakfast as I see it.
