After the New Orleans Saints' second preseason game, coach Sean Payton said the wide receiver play had been "average at best" this summer.
After the third preseason game on Saturday, Payton said the team's depth chart at receiver is "written in chalk."
Entering training camp, this breakdown would've been stunning because the receiver position was supposed to be one of the team's strengths. That could still be the case, but as the Saints approach their preseason finale, there are more questions than answers at the position.
And, while the Saints certainly want as many weapons as possible for quarterback Drew Brees, run blocking ability could actually be the key for a receiver to make the team or have an expansive role.
