Devaughn Vele is one of the players acquired by the Saints last season, part of a deep receiver room that includes top two wideouts Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson, plus three newly drafted receivers this spring. One of the biggest questions will be who makes the roster and whether the Saints keep five or six receivers, and who will get the majority of the snaps behind the top two guys.

Devaughn Vele is vastly undrafted despite playing a featured role for the Saints after Brandin Cooks was traded. Between Weeks 12-15, Vele posted a 20.5% target/route rate and 1.88 yards/route on an 80% route participation rate before injury. Laghezza projects Vele could be the Saints' WR2 ahead of rookie Jordyn Tyson early in the season, given his familiarity with Kellen Moore's 3-WR heavy scheme.

Some notes from the final day of #Saints minicamp: - Cam Jordan in attendance but not in team drills (ramp-up szn). Devaughn Vele absent for the first time. Otherwise attendance was similar to what we’ve seen. - Christen Miller a full go again today. Jordyn Tyson still limited, but did get into walkthroughs and seemed to be moving well. - Bryce Lance has really gotten some a chance to shine with WR absences. Had two TDs today during red zone work. - Another busy day with two sets of 11-on-11...
