Missing all of 2016 due to a leg injury, Michael Hoomanawanui, also known as the “Hoo-Man,” is back and healthy for the 2017 New Orleans Saints season. Entering his ninth year in the NFL, the veteran tight end is looking to produce as he did in 2015 for the Black and Gold.
In his first season with the Saints, which started in week four of 2015 due to a mid-season trade, the 6-foot-4, 260-pounder caught three touchdowns in 12 games. A valuable blocker and pass catcher, the “Hoo-Man” will be an important piece of the offense this season.
