Saints bring in another explosive return specialist for mini-camp tryout
Veteran wide receiver Jakeem Grant will be among the invites at New Orleans Saints rookie mini-camp this weekend. This news was first reported by NFL reporter Aaron Wilson on Friday afternoon.
Listed at 5'6" and 170-Lbs., Grant has been a punt return specialist throughout most of his seven-year NFL career. He remained with the Dolphins from 2016 to 2021, where he caught 91 passes for 1,001 yards and five touchdowns. He'd also average 9.7 yards on punt returns, scoring three touchdowns, and 24.8 on kickoff returns while adding two more scores.
Midway through the 2021 campaign, Grant was traded to the Chicago Bears. He'd catch nine passes for 139 yards with two scores in 11 games with Chicago and averaged 13.9 yards with a touchdown as a punt returner, including a franchise record 97-yard scoring return. Grant's return abilities earned him a spot on the 2022 Pro Bowl roster.
