The New Orleans Saints grabbed Wisconsin safety Natrell Jamerson in the fifth round of Saturday's draft.

Jamerson, a 5-foot-11, 200-pounder who ran a 4.4-second 40-yard dash, is a pressure player safety who converted to defensive back after arriving in Madison as a wide receiver.

All of that speed makes Jamerson a special-teams candidate.

While at Wisconsin, Jamerson returned kicks and punts, and he was a key special-teams star for the Badgers.
