I thought about Saine as a WR. He certainly isn't a running back. I would have to see him try to play the position but I suspect he would struggle greatly. He might have had the best hands on the team, he also has elite speed. But, can the guy run a route? I highly suspect the answer is no. Watching the guy change direction is painful.Originally Posted by steelblood
I couldn't find a highlight reel on Saine from college. But, check this one out from HS. Look at the 45 second mark. You will see two things, one is his ability to change direction comes with these awkward choppy steps, rather than quick decisive movements. You will also see his elite speed. I understand he has to pull a 180 but I seen this so many times when asked to shoot from like the A gap to the C gap. By the time he gets started again he has a linebacker pulling him down. So, I think his ability to just run an out pattern wouldn't fool anyone. He is a guy worth looking at as an UDFA, but I suspect he will fizzle out of the league sooner than later.
