    Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush needed a reliable piece behind them at running back more than a decade ago with the New Orleans Saints. Aaron Stecker played the role perfectly.

    And while Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara lit the world on fire in 2017, the Saints walked into this offseason without someone considered the team's No. 3 tailback. New Orleans hopes it discovered that player late in the sixth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday (April 28).

    The Saints nabbed Louisiana Tech tailback Boston Scott with pick No. 201. I figured Southern Miss' Ito Smith might have been a late-round possibility. He flew off the board early in Day 3, so Scott seems to fit a similar mold as a small, yet very shifty, running back.

    Pro Football Focus gushed over Scott via Twitter after the Saints selected the Zachary native. PFF charted Scott for 51 broken tackles on 199 total touches, ranking with the fourth-highest elusiveness rate in college football in 2017. Scott also never dropped a pass last season.
