One step forward, two steps back. The New Orleans Saints have shown some encouraging signs in recent weeks, highlighted by the improved play of rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. As he has progressed, the young QB has found an unexpected connection with receiver Devaughn Vele.
The Saints traded for Vele back in August, and after a quiet start to the season, the 27-year-old has quietly had a breakout campaign.
Unfortunately, the team announced this week that he will be moving to the Injured Reserve. After putting up 200 receiving yards in the last three games, Vele’s season is over.
