The last time the New Orleans Saints ranked 24th in the draft was in 1988 when one of the most memorable players choose in franchise history - the defender Craig Ironhead Heyward.
How then is, is whether the projects of the Times-Picayune drilling three weeks from now. James Varney two and I use the Saints draft selection 24 in Ironhead's son, the Ohio State defensive end Cameron Heyward.
He has not only to the selections of sentimentality or because Varney irreducible Buckeyes fans. Both believe that the young Heyward would be a perfect fit over the seven mountains, where they add to youth and athleticism.
At 6 feet 5, 294 pounds, Heyward size, versatility and Santos neighbor alerted to 4-3 in their programs. It can help start a runner and pass defense and was able to finish their fellow Buckeye Smith.
It is just an added bonus that Heyward black and gold has blood in his veins, after the first four years of his life in New Orleans.
Ironhead Heyward has played five seasons with the Saints of 1988 to 1992, where he was a fan favorite because despite its thickness legendary. Rear Agents / Brokers was very athletic for his size, and has been bowling for the defenders drove them known to the field.
Heyward has been included at 拢 265, but it has crossed the barrier of 300 pounds at a time and has always been opposed to weight.
He fell to 1.813 yards and scored 14 touchdowns with the Saints, but he was not aware of his potential until he joined the Atlanta Falcons in 1994. He fell to 1.083 meters in 1995 and won a trip to the Pro Bowl.
It was really like an offensive lineman in the backfield, and what was hard (as it is), said former Saints quarterback Bobby Hebert, the New Orleans and Atlanta with Heyward won. It was funny: When we exercise in practice, the driver of the linebacker one-on-one, I remember Sam Mills, take Vaughn Johnson and the young linebackers and say it was his hand because they do not want headaches for the rest of practice. It was a ram. Heyward also spent time with Chicago, San Louis and Indianapolis in a 11-year career that has been detected in a brain tumor during the 1998 season ended. He fought the disease for eight years before his death at the age of 39 in 2006.
Cameron Heyward Hebert also very well known. Cameron has been a longtime friend of the son of Bobby were T-Bob, who now plays for LSU, and Bobby are formed when 10 years have been as offensive coordinator for the Wildcats at the Duluth Atlanta.
Hebert notes that Heyward was so great, parents complain that there is no way I was 10 In fact, remind the children of young Heyward jump was great, as a small child in the holy Christmas season. But he describes as a gentle giant with an incredible personality and maturity.
Knowing both Cameron as day and night for the maturity of the child, said Hebert. They have not got to worry about him in trouble, as is sometimes made with his father. Cameron, I know one thing that you do not have to worry about his attitude. The only time the Saints used the pick on 24 July was 1985, when the Toledo Tennessee linebacker Alvin was elected. Toledo left for four years in New Orleans, but only a lasting impression.
The Saints acquired pick 24 in 1985 by George Rogers, strengthen a trade corridor for the Washington Redskins, in the hope that their porous defense against the run. Toledo had a good season in 1986 as a full-time, but never his way to the Dome Patrol. He spent his last two seasons as a backup before a knee injury ended his career.
The success of the Saints project is even better with the selection of the numbers 23 and 25, where running back Deuce McAllister in 2001 and defensive end Charles Grant in 2002 was captured.
And recent history shows that the saints can be even better with the 24th Selection on this occasion.
In the past nine years, the superstar talent from the slot 24 in the NFL Draft came - from reigning Super Bowl MVP Quart Aaron Rodgers in 2005, the Hall of Fame caliber safety Ed Reed in 2002, as perennial Pro Bowl player running back Chris Johnson in 2008, running back Steven Jackson in 2004 and tight end Dallas Clark in 2003.
Other includes the last 24 New England Brandon Meriweather safety and corner Johnathan Joseph Cincinnati, are also among the best in the league at his position. And last year, took the Dallas Cowboys to select 24 in the receiver / return man Bryant in December, has established itself as a recruit in the league. The jury is still in 2009 with Jerry Pe帽a, collect a defensive for the Atlanta Falcons, whose rookie season was wiped from injuries to address.
While the Saints will look hard to the front seven, who have repeatedly demonstrated the best player available to help select the edge of their projects. It is not surprising that the draft offensive or tackle a running back in Series 1 of this year.
A position that is almost certain to ignore, however, is the quarterback, where it is fixed for the present and the future with Drew Brees. But could move the position to come into play when the Saints on the clock.
To many analysts believe that the Seattle Seahawks might look to a quarterback with the No. 25 selection for teams that can trade against the Seahawks the offer the Saints can not be denied to call draft.
