The New Orleans Saints may be eyeing a running back for the later rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft. Per Tony Pauline of Draft Analyst, the Saints and Dallas Cowboys sent coaches to Boise State’s pro day to get another look at running back Alexander Mattison. Saints running backs coach Joel Thomas was on hand to represent the black and gold; he reportedly took in Mattison’s pro day and met with the prospect personally.
Mattison (5-foot-11 5/8, 221 pounds) put up a nice performance at the NFL Scouting Combine, but used the opportunity at his pro day to improve his result in the 40-yard dash.
