Number One: Wide Receiver

Tommy Stevens is an athlete at multiple positions and proved it in college. Standing at a staggering 6-foot-5 inches tall, Stevens could translate into a solid wide receiver for the Saints.

Stevens primarily played quarterback in college but also received some playing time in other positions behind Trace McSorley while he attended Penn State. Stevens played a change of pace role while at Penn State, similar to what Taysom Hill does for the Saints.

Stevens was often brought in the game to trick opponents, and he thrived in that role. Stevens hauled in 14 receptions for 62 yards and two touchdowns as a wide receiver and showed flashes that he could translate that success to the NFL level.

Tommy Stevens is truly an intriguing player for the New Orleans Saints and his tall, physical frame could give him an advantage over smaller cornerbacks both in getting to the ball and for breaking tackles.
