The New Orleans Saints has the highest ranked passing attack in yards per game (312.3) last season. That didn’t stop them from feeling the need to bolster their attack and drafting Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver Kenny Stills.

Marques Colston and Joe Morgan are both banged up currently. Colston, who is suffering from a foot injury was removed from the PUP list and practiced for the first time on Monday. Morgan has a torn meniscus and partially torn ACL.

From the New Orleans Times-Picayune:

"Until further notice. Right now, the rookie from Oklahoma would get the first call in nickel packages. Veteran Steve Breaston likely will press him for the spot once he’s acclimated to the offense, but Stills has a significant lead at this point."

Kenny Stills had his best season of his college career in 2012. He caught 82 passes for 959 yards and 11 touchdowns. In his previous two seasons he caught 61 passes each for 786 yards and 849 yards with 5 and 8 touchdowns respectively.

Despite his slender six-foot 190 pound frame he has some wheels and ran a 4.38 forty.
