Saints Saints 2018 Year in Review: Tre’quan Smith

By Don Kellum - CSC

Tre’Quan Smith’s first season in the NFL went as well as one would suspect of a rookie wide receiver, but then again, Saints fans have been spoiled with rookie receivers who came ready to play at an NFL level. Marques Colston, Brandin Cooks, and most recently the un-guardable Michael Thomas all excelled in their inaugural season putting up impressive numbers.

However, most wide receivers don’t come out of the gate as hot as the names mentioned above, and instead have seasons that look similar to Smith’s:

Approximate Value: 5
Pro Football Focus Rank: 67th out of 117
Overall Grade: 67.9
Total Offensive Snaps: 567 ...

Dallin Holker labeled Saints' rookie free agent with best odds to make the team

The New Orleans Saints have had success with undrafted free agents in the recent past. The most recent success has most recently come in the form of special teams additions. Deonte Harty and Rashid Shaheed initially were return specialists before integrating into the offense. Wil Lutz and J.T. Gray were also valuable special teams assets.

Though unproven, the Saints’ 2024 UDFA class is highly rated. The star of that class is Colorado State tight end Dallin Holker. It’s no surprise that Bleacher Report’s Ryan Fowler believes Holker has the best chance to make the Saints roster of all...

Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon broke down the quarterback situation of every team. There’s no high profile veteran quarterback, so each squad has solidified. Gagnon used age, trajectory, experience, contract, injury history and the state of the team to come up with a quick summation to divide each team...

It’s time to get back on the football field.

Rookie minicamp is this weekend throughout the NFL and for the New Orleans Saints, it’s an opportunity to see your draft picks and UDFAs in action.

Here’s a few points to keep an eye on for the weekend:

There’s going to be a ton of pressure on the offensive line prospect that the Saints drafted 14th overall and now gave a fully guaranteed deal before he steps foot on the field. It appears that Ryan Ramcyzk will be good to go, but Fuaga will have to step in at left tackle while Trevor Penning could move inside to left guard. So, it’ll be...

With the start of the New Orleans Saints 2024 minicamp just about a month away, we’re going to do an early projection of what the roster could potentially look like come week one. It is very likely that the team will be adding players here and there before the start of the season, but I believe this provides a good idea on where this team stands with the personnel they have at the moment.

Let’s get to it.

Quarterback (3): Derek Carr, Jake Haener, Spencer Rattler

Running Back (4): Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams, Kendre Miller, Zander Horvath
