Yahoo Sports NFL on Devaughn Vele

Vele is Saints' contested-catch slot receiver; Shough's favorite target on third-and-long.

Canal Street Chronicles highlights Devaughn Vele as an under-the-radar player who could impact Sunday's game. After the Saints invested a fourth-round pick to acquire him from Denver, Vele has become the contested-catch slot receiver the Saints have been searching for since Michael Thomas. He's quickly become one of Tyler Shough's favorite targets and is the go-to guy on third-and-long situations. Vele and Juwan Johnson have been lethal in the red zone. For a six-foot receiver, his movement and body control are described as remarkable, and Canal Street Chronicles expects him to keep garnering more attention as the season progresses.
