Sean Payton spoke with the media following the Saints Sunday night practice at Yulman Stadium on the campus of Tulane University. One of the questions asked of him by a reporter regarded the story of wide receiver Dan Arnold who is being converted to tight end.
Arnold came to the Saints as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Wisconsin-Platteville following the 2017 NFL Draft. He’s always played wide receiver and, in college at least, was very prolific. He’s a big, athletic kid at 6-5 and 225-pounds with outstanding ball skills.
The problem with Dan Arnold is trying to squeeze him in on an already stacked roster of wide receiver talent in New Orleans.
