The New Orleans Saints have been one of the best teams in the league at getting the most out of their UDFAs and they’re hoping this year is no different. From Carl Granderson to Malcolm Roach, the Saints have continued to find gems after the draft has concluded and Eric Burrell could be the next name to join that group.

Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report put a list together of every team’s best UDFA on their roster and for the Saints, Burrell was the pick.

The 6’0″, 195-pound defender possesses the strength, aggressiveness and big-hitting ability to make an impact on the back end and in punt coverage.
