Saints’ RB Darius ‘Vito’ Victor is a locomotive that you don’t wanna ride

The definition of a locomotive is a self-propelled, vehicular engine, powered by steam, a diesel, or electricity, for pulling or, sometimes, pushing a train or individual railroad cars. The Saints may have found one on sale.

This is the only quote that Who Dat Nation needs to read. It’s from from Victor’s former coach Rob Ambrose from Towson University.

"I’ll probably never have to do this again the rest of my coaching career, but I had to take him out of short-yardage drills because he would hurt our own players.”"

Is there really anything more to say? Darius Victor was plucked from the plethora of undrafted rookie free agents after the 2017 NFL Draft. This goldmine could be exactly what the doctor ordered for the New Orleans Saints.

It’s not so much what Victor can do, it’s the spark he can bring every time he gets the ball. Victor runs like he’s on fire. Trust me, as my eyes grew larger and larger in camp Saturday afternoon. The fans saw it too. By the same token, the media was salivating over his efforts as well.  Victor is not your usual suspect standing at 5-foot-7 and 225 lbs.

And if you want a second dose take a look here.

Victor comes into Saints’ camp with a loaded backfield that includes Mark Ingram, Adrian Peterson, and Alvin Kamara. That being said, there’s no one like Darius Victor. Victor is a younger version of Tim Hightower and a prototype of Maurice Jones-Drew 2.0.

Victor can be the punisher and the enforcer. It seems he loves to run right into oncoming traffic. And Victor won’t cost much at all, if he can make the 53 man roster. The challenge is going to be tough, considering there’s plenty of competition at running back right now. Be that as it may, Victor is on the watch list for sure.

A nickname like “Vito” should get the attention of Who Dat Nation. Presently, he’s making a name for himself in an already crowded backfield.
