Saints Eye D'Angelo Ponds in NFL Draft

0:00On April 24th, the New Orleans Saints are eyeing cornerbacks big time in the second round of the NFL draft tomorrow, and Indiana's D'Angelo Pond's tops. That list, if he's still on the board, this guy's got the traits, scouts rave about, subrathletic, elite skills, sharp instincts, and off-the-charts football smarts. Pond started strong as a freshman all-American at James Madison, before transferring to Indiana, where he earned first team all Big Ten honors the next year. Last season, he helped his squad snag a national championship, and picked up all-American nods too. Fans and analysts are buzzing because he'd slide right into the Saints lineup, especially in nickel packages, feeling a huge need. His size of 5'10 might drop him a bit, but that hasn't dimmed the hype around his playmaking. Over his last two college seasons, Pond snagged five interceptions, two for touchdowns, and even scored twice on pun returns. Teens are lining up early Friday, so if he lasts till the Saints turn, they got a pounce fast.
