Third down has quickly been keyed the term "third-and-Vele." The 6-foot-5 receiver has been a reliable target, and his ability to survive contact and make receptions has made him a valuable resource to the Saints' offense. With rookie Jordyn Tyson's return date approaching, assuming he'll be ready in weeks five or six, Vele has made a strong case to heighten his snap count.
