Saints' little big man Adam Bighill close to realizing NFL dream

No one needs to tell Adam Bighill the numbers.

As usual, they are stacked again him.

It's a position the New Orleans Saints' rookie linebacker is accustomed to by now. From Mantesano (Wash.) High School to Division II Central Washington University to the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League to here, the precipice of an NFL roster, Bighill has lived the long shot life.

When Bighill joined the Saints four months ago, he was one of the longest shots to make the team on the roster. He wore jersey No. 99 and the tape across the front of his helmet identified his name in extra large capital letters: BIGHILL.
