Auburn special teams ace Eli Stove met with the Saints

Auburn WR/KR/PR Eli Stove, 5-11, 194. I can see Stove making a roster. Returned kicks/punts in 2020, played on every special teams unit as a gunner as well.

The Draft Network’s Justin Melo reported Tuesday that the New Orleans Saints are amid a crowd of teams touching base with Auburn wide receiver Eli Stove, one of the more-accomplished special teams players in this year’s draft class. While he didn’t begin handling return duties until his final season in college, Stove lined up at several different spots to cover opposing returns throughout his five-year Tigers career.
