Saints rookie A.T. Perry ready to step in for Michael Thomas

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry has been waiting for his moment.

Perry has lived in relative obscurity for three months, sitting behind Michael Thomas, Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed on the depth chart. He bided his time, soaked up every piece of advice and hoped for a chance to prove himself.

His first two catches -- a 23-yard reception from Derek Carr and a 15-yard touchdown pass from Jameis Winston against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10 -- showed there's potential in the sixth-round pick.
