2018 New Orleans Saints Training Camp Preview: Wide Receiver

The New Orleans Saints selected wide receiver Michael Thomas with the first of their two 2nd round draft choices (47th overall) in 2016. Thomas quickly made his mark in the offense as a rookie with 1,137 yards receiving while leading the team with 92 catches and 9 receiving touchdowns. Last season he was even better, catching a team-record 104 passes on his way to 1,245 yards and five scores. He was voted to his first of what looks to be many Pro Bowl berths, and was one of the league's top offensive weapons. Despite Thomas' talents, along with one of the most explosive all-purpose threats in the league in running back Alvin Kamara, the Saints passing attack struggled at times a year ago.
