Malachi Dupre may not wind up on the roster of the New Orleans Saints this year. But when the New Orleans native and former LSU standout is drafted, several members of the Saints will have contributed at least a small part to his success, he said last week from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
First, there’s Michael Thomas, the most productive rookie receiver (92 catches for 1,137 yards and nine touchdowns) in Saints franchise history.
“Michael Thomas is a really good friend of mine and he had a really good rookie season last year, the best of any rookie receiver,” Dupre said.
