Report: Saints eyeing Arkansas' leading receiver after impressive pro day

The New Orleans Saints were present and active at Arkansas' pro day on Monday keying in on one of the teams electrifying pass catchers.

Leading Razorback receiver Andrew Armstrong put on quite a show early this week with a standout performance back at his team's facility. The speedy wideout improved his 4.51s official 40 time from this year's combine, by clocking in times as fast as 4.37s catching the attention of many Saints scouts and officials according to Tony Pauline of SportsKeeda. Armstrong also solidified his short shuttle and three-cone times hitting similar numbers to those of his combine.

Pauline mentions that the Saints are working to get Armstrong in for a visit sometime in the near future, confirming their interest in the young player.

At 6-foot-4, 202-pounds, Armstrong is a huge target with a big catch radius but specializes in winning against defensive backs vertically. His ability to quickly separate with speed off the line of scrimmage often leaving defensive backs well behind him. Amassing over 130 catches and 1900 yards in his last two seasons, Armstrong has built a very well-rounded resume with the NFL draft just over a month away.

With the Saints need for a big body at the receiver, Armstrong would be able to provide some of that as a potential late-round selection come April.
