    Jenkins will be a good NFL player...sorry, as fashionable as it is to bash buckeyes...you don't start at corner for three years if you're a slouch. While i can definitely see wanting some of the other guys (Vontae Davis is a BURNER, despite playing in the B10), but you will be fine with Jenkins...mark my words.

    As for Beanie not having a work ethic, or being lazy? total BS...not a chance...this kid has drive coming out of the you know what...someone called him one dimensional? Are you kidding me? Great vision, power, enough speed to hit the home run, vicious stiff arm, yeah, i can see that:huh:...my only concern is the way he runs, he is somewhat injury prone. That would be a bigger, legitimate concern...

    Time will tell.

    Wells came into camp at 224, 14 lbs lighter than his playing days at OSU.

    He says he feels lighter and faster and has more endurance with the lower weight.

    I still wish the Saints would have traded late in the first round to get him.

    He appears to be the next Deuce McAllister.

    Did you also see he didn't finish his first practice yesterday?

    Injured his leg/foot and was carted off the field.

    Yet another injury prone OSU running back!

    I don't really know, but i don't think it's too serious.

    But that was his problem at OSU.....always hurt.

    Last thing the Saints needed.
