New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele led the team’s receiving corps with the most snaps in their 17-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Despite being the primary presence on the field, Vele saw limited action in the passing game, finishing the afternoon with just one catch for 15 yards.
Following the Saints trade of Rasheed Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks, many expected Vele to take on a larger role and become more involved in the offense moving forward. However, while the Saints receiving corps had their best performance on the season, Vele had very little to do with it, struggling to make an impact despite leading the group in snaps.
