Saints with a UDFA steal?
Posted on 4/28/18 at 8:04 pm

Tight End Deon Yelder from Western Kentucky .
LINK
One year wonder starter
52 receptions 688 yards 7 TDS
Strengths:
Compact frame with good mass. Plays with admirable toughness through catch contact and as a blocker. Operates with good pad level into his initial block in run game. Runs feet under his hands to create leverage and sustain blocks. Displays footwork and angles to become a more competent blocker at point of attack. Can make necessary adjustments to pull in throws that are left behind him on crossing routes. Good scrambler to find open space when route stalls and play extends. Used on shovel passes, as goal line wildcat option and as runner on fake punts

HE reminds me of Shannon Sharpe and Mike Ditka combined

I’m told he got a BIG signing bonus — they wanted him badly

I'm thinking more Gronkowski and Tony Gonzales.

Biggest UDFA guarantee I've heard so far: $90,000 for TE Deon Yelder with the #Saints ($15K bonus, $75K base guarantee) and CB Tarvarus McFadden with the #49ers ($20K/$70K).
