The Saints are reasonably deep at wide receiver. But speed is something you can never have too much of.
So they’re giving a look to a guy who once ran a 4.22-second 40-yard dash Jeremy Kerley Color Rush Jersey , just in case.
According to Christopher Dabe of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Saints have brought former track standout Kevin Snead in for a tryout.
He has a limited football background, catching six passes in two seasons at Division II Carson-Newman. But he set school records in the 100 and 200 meters, and was once named the fastest player in college football.
He was invited to Giants camp last year, but a hamstring tear kept him from showing his remarkable speed. Tuesday was his first NFL workout since last summer.
“It felt great,” he said Adidas Duncan Keith Jersey , “just to be back playing football again. . . .聽Today was really about getting comfortable, knowing my assignment and knowing what I’m doing.
“The more I get comfortable the faster I’ll be able to go. … Today I got a good feel for my first day back and tomorrow I look forward to being faster.”
Snead’s 4.22 came at Tennessee’s pro day last year, enough to intrigue teams.聽 If he had done it at the Scouting Combine, it would have tied John Ross‘s event record.
Of course, it will take more than speed to stand out. The Saints have 13 other wideouts on their roster at the moment, all of whom have better football resumes. But when teams find a rare quality Rodger Saffold Jersey , they’ll take a look.
Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook played in his 1,000th regular-season game Thursday night, adding another accomplishment to his impressive career.
Seabrook started alongside fellow alternate captain and frequent defensive partner Duncan Keith and played almost 19 minutes in Chicago’s 6-2 victory over Winnipeg. He has appeared in 77 of Chicago’s 78 games this season.
Each of the Blackhawks warmed up in Seabrook’s No. 7 jersey, and the franchise recognized the defenseman during a pregame ceremony. He was joined on the ice by his wife and three children and his parents and brother before he was presented with a commemorative silver stick, a painting and a family vacation to Disney World.
”It was pretty cool,” Seabrook said. ”Special Adidas Gabriel Landeskog Jersey , being here for so many years since I was a 17-year-old baby. Seeing (family) out there was pretty special. They enjoyed it. I saw my daughter’s face when he said the Disneyland trip. It was pretty cool. How many guys come out and present me with these gifts, and what the Blackhawks have done here.”
Seabrook, who turns 33 on April 20, was selected by Chicago in the first round of the 2003 draft. He helped the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup in 2010, 2013 and 2015, and also played on Canada’s gold medal-winning team in the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Seabrook is the fifth player in franchise history to skate in 1 Youth Joseph Noteboom Jersey ,000 or more games for the team, joining Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull, Eric Nesterenko and Bob Murray.
