This is all about the a few of the new guys you will be seeing in New Orleans for a long long time.

Craig Booker MLB 1st round 5th pick 78Ovr

Craig Booker has been a stud his whole life, he has always been the biggest and strongest kid. Growing up in urban Tampa Bay his family never had money and eventually his father and mother divorced. Booker was going through a rough patch in his life and all he knew he loved was Football. He dominated in Highschool, breaking the Florida record for tackles and finished his Highschool career as the #7 ranked recruit. From there he was a top recruit to Miami and ended up breaking the Miami Tackle record previously held by Dan Morgan.                                                      Favorite Player: Fellow Hurricane  Ray Lewis

Shawn Nickerson QB 4th round 24th pick 69Ovr

Shawn used to be to small to be a QB. In his junior and senior year in highschool  he grew from 5”8 to *6”3* from then he accelerated at QB. He had big time scholarships going into College but decided to stay in state and go to Montana State to stay near his sick mother. He was a star in College bringing them to there first winning record since 2007 his senior year.                                       Favorite Player: His Uncle Ryan Leaf

Westly Moats WR UDFA 76Ovr 

Growing up his family was dirt poor in a very rough area in Santa Fe. He got into a lot of trouble growing up and was arrested at age 13 for bringing a gun to school, but he was so good at football that his eventual highschool coach allowed him to join the team despite his multiple felonys. Westly wanted to be successful, but had the money to do anything. His parents used their whole life savings to have Westly walk on at New Mexico State, he eventually made the team and started his senior year. Finally the beast was unleashed as he finished his season with over 1,000 yards and 21 TDs. Then there was draft day, every single team passed in him due to his unpredictable attitude but eventually after the draft the Saints picked him up and are very high on him.                               Favorite Player: Terrel Owens

(Bonus) Malcom Bean 5”8 Kick Returner 

Although the Bean Man isnt a rookie, his story is so good that we have to share it. Lil Bean was born in Bean Town aka Boston, Growing up he was always the smallest but had a huge heart. He excelled at Basketball but didn’t make his highschool team due to his stature. He then was recruited to the football team as a wide receiver, but wasn’t all that great. Coming out of college he was offered only 1 scholarship and that was to be a kick returner for Illinois State. Oh boy, oh boy he was a returner. He had 3! Kick return touchdowns in a game against Northern Illinois and eventually breaking school and NCAA records for return yards and return TDs.                                    Favorite Player: Desmond Howard
