The New Orleans Saints were aggressive at a major position on offense during this offseason. They made sure to add plenty of tight end depth. Juwan Johnson had a great season last year, but they needed more around him in the TE room.
Adding Foster Moreau and Jimmy Graham is already paying dividends in training camp so far. During Tuesday's practice, the tight ends showed out. According to Ross Jackson, each of them had an impact play. That's important for the Saints.
Jimmy Graham may be an older player at TE, but the camp reports have been quite positive. Not to mention, Moreau already possesses fantastic chemistry with new Saints QB Derek Carr. The meshing seems to be going extremely well.
Add in a physical talent like Juwan Johnson, and the Saints look to have one of the most well-rounded TE rooms in the NFL. That's without mentioning Taysom Hill, a player that some may consider a TE, but he doesn't have a true position. His value is in that.
Regardless, Saints fans should be excited about their tight ends for this season. They know better than anyone that injuries can arise, and the depth may be very useful for New Orleans.
