Justin Thomas: Triple-option quarterback to Saints cornerback

Veteran quarterback Matt Simms, Baylor’s Seth Russell, and Minnesota-Duluth’s Drew Bauer all tried out. But the Saints also signed another quarterback to their offseason roster this weekend. They signed Georgia Tech quarterback Justin Thomas on Sunday after he participated in the three-day minicamp.

Wait, are we talking about a kid that ran a triple option offense in college? Someone that only completed 48% of his passes in his 4 years college career? Easy there, folks.

While Thomas played quarterback in college, the Saints signed him officially as a defensive back.
