Ask anyone who’s been to New Orleans Saints training camp (or who tuned in for the opening minutes of New Orleans’ first preseason game) about who has been exciting, and you’ll hear a lot of buzz about Marquez Callaway.

Some of that opportunity is happenstance. Michael Thomas is unavailable while recovering from surgery. Tre’Quan Smith and Tommylee Lewis have been unavailable while managing undisclosed injuries.
