During the offseason, the New Orleans Saints lost WR Brandin Cooks and needed a replacement. Willie Snead had hoped to be that answer. However, the Saints believe they have found that replacement —at least for now — in Ted Ginn.
Ginn has speed — Sonic the Hedgehog speed. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.28 seconds. On average, Ginn gains 13.9 yards per reception. Plus, he has 7 kickoff and punt returns for touchdowns, two of which were during the same game. The Saints’ staff refers to Ginn as “TGIF….. Ted Ginn Is Fast.”
Ginn is listed directly ahead of Snead on the Saints’ initial unofficial preseason depth chart.
