Do the Saints keep 2 Fullbacks on the roster this year?...they have done this in the past...but not last year.
I can't think of the last time we kept 2 fullbacks on the roster

I see his only means of gainful employment with the Saints to be on special teams, and he'd better go to beast mode.

How am I wrong?
NFL draft expert Mike Detillier thought Jordan Jefferson should not have gotten an NFL Combine invite.
JJ then goes to the combine and comes in dead last out of all 315 participants.
Then he posted that tweet from my earlier post in response to Detillier saying he shouldn't have been invited. The only problem is that JJ was too stupid to realize that him finishing 315 out of 315 proved that Detillier was 100% correct that JJ should have never been invited.
So now I would like you to tell me how I am wrong about what happened.
ETA: The tweet in question

You may want to actually read your second link.

I can't see it with the young WR talent we have coming in.
I could see us picking him up after an injury though. I hope I'm wrong and he adds value to the team

Oh I saw the edit. I never knew the 315 out of 315 was prior to the combine because everyone was reporting it as after.
He still finished dead last out of all QBs though.
ETA: He still finished dead last overall as previously reported with a 44 score just like my original link

Jordan was the lowest ranked player entering the combine by NFL.com. After the combine, NFL.com mentioned him as a player that helped himself and would likely be a late round pick.

No they didn't. Not in my above link

Jefferson hasn't shown enough transferable skills at this point to garner a draft pick, but an athlete with his size and SEC experience should get a shot in camp.

Although he had the lowest grade prior to the Combine, Jefferson was the only quarterback to finish among the top five in each test during the event. Among the quarterbacks, Jefferson finished first in the 20-yard shuttle, tied for first in the bench press, and finished third in the 40-yard dash and the vertical jump.

Jefferson Improved Draft Grades - Possible 5th Round Pick

And he still came out with the lowest overall score out of all QBs didn't he?
Posted on 5/17/14 at 9:13 pm to stout
yes they did. read this LINK
they don't update the pre-combine profiles except for official measurements/ times. the strengths/ weaknesses and scores stay the same.
FWIW, Detillier's assessment was spot on. it's just that his quotes appeared in a Guilbeau piece, and Guilbeau wrote it in a way that made it sound pretty anti-JJ.

They didn't update any of that, for any players, following the combine. This was well documented at the time.
He sucks, but some of you try way too hard.

Please don't frick a thread up about the GOAT up with mention of Jordan Jefferson.
TIA

No doubt and JJ was still stupid enough to act like he lit the world on fire at the combine. He may have improved his stock accodring to NFL.com writers but obvisouly no teams agreed with them.
He was still last overall among the QBs there.
My original point is that he has always had every reason to be humble yet he never has been. Humility can go a long way sometimes.
That tweet was just the icing on the cake IMO.

2011....Jed Collins & Korey Hall
Maybe...just maybe there will be enough room for Lorig & Hester??
But agree that it might be tough to keep 2 FB's with all of the WR's the Saints have...

JJ's best play in the championship game was after he threw the interception and tackled the Bama linebacker. Perhaps he should switch to SS.

can you provide a link, b/c Korey Hall isn't shown as being active at all in 2011
Last game log is 2010
I see that we signed him to a 2 year deal in 2011
