Didn't get much action at the Collegiate Bowl, and he didn't get an invite to combine. He showed out today though. He must have been working hard this spring. Never underestimate someone with a chip on his shoulder. Keep grinding Russ. You probably worked your way into the draft with your performance this season and at today's Pro Day. Congrats to you.

Hope someone picks him up. Kid works harder than anyone; he's smart, too. Not as small as I thought either.

I think Corey Thompson did well today too. He might be a fringe draftee, or at least sign as a free agent with his numbers today. Don't know if he'll get drafted due to injury risk and kind of in between positions at LB/S. Will be a special teams warrior though.

He will be a very versatile player at the next level imo.

I think he’ll be a UDFA.

Tape at WR is Sub par.

Highlights are off jet sweeps & coverage tackles

He’ll get a shot

Why does everyone always say that? Is that to keep them in-state or something?

It’s fun to watch guys who were on your college team play for your favorite pro team

He is the definition of a good tiger. Hope he gets picked up.

ugh, deep speed WR is an area of need for the Saints. Though Mike D has said this is one of the deepest drafts at WR he's ever seen.

Corey will be drafted in a late round. He's a top prospect if it weren't for injuries. That is really his only weakness, but unfortunately its a big one.

It’s a shame mines and company kept his arse off the field.

Gage actually had some of the most incredible catches the last couple years even though there weren't many. Seems a like a pretty good route runner and has good hands.

His skill set will work for teams not looking for a number one WR.

Big ups to Coach O for recognizing his potential and immediately moving him to offense. That decision by O made Russell Gage some money for sure.

Remember when everyone gave Jimmy Smith shite for saying Gage was going to be in that Fournette/Adams class???
