Top Saints to watch at training camp: No. 3, Michael Thomas

Head coach Sean Payton was no fool using the team’s 47th overall pick in the 2nd Round to nab the talented Ohio State wide out. The Saints gained a new toy for Drew Brees to continue to make their offensive attack potent, and Thomas will do just that. The 6-foot-3, 212-pound receiver is the nephew of former Super Bowl Champion and ex-ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson, and Johnson has also said that Thomas is a bigger, faster Marques Colston.

When you stop to think about what Colston did in his career with the Saints, that’s a pretty scary thought.
