Treyton Welch is far from a household name. Matter of fact, there was a chance he wouldn't have been on the New Orleans Saints roster once Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau returned from injury. However, Welch not making the initial 53-man roster is the Saints' most surprising move so far.
The Saints are working to trim down their roster from the 90-man limit in the offseason to the 53-man limit for the regular season. Welch shouldn't have been considered a lock for the roster, but there was an expectation he would make it. It was enough of an expectation to be surprised about the cut.
