Dan Arnold's position switch this offseason came with a dream of a mandate from New Orleans Saints tight end coach Dan Campbell.
"'Eat everything in front of you,'" Arnold recalled Campbell saying to him.
Playing tight end in the NFL required more bulk than Arnold carried on his 220-pound frame as a former wide receiver, but it also requires more than just cleaning his plate. Arnold is hopeful he can do everything asked of him so he can make an NFL roster.
The Saints are intrigued with what they have in Arnold, who spent all of last season on injured reserve after signing as an undrafted free agent out of tiny Wisconsin-Platteville.
