New Orleans,LA – The New Orleans Saints signed two free agents yesterday, former LB Nigel Bradham & WR Bennie Fowler. The lesser of the two, wide out Bennie Fowler is a relative unknown to the Black & Gold Nation.
Fowler is viewed as a long shot to make the roster but that might not be the case. I wrote an article yesterday covering the signing of both new Saints players both Fowler & Bradham. We inner stand that Bradham would get much off the press because of his productivity and role with his former team Philadelphia.
I was very much surprised what I found out once I researched Mr Fowler,maybe you will be too. Here’s 3 things you probably didn’t know about Saints wide receiver Bennie Fowler:
- Number One: Fowler an undrafted wide receiver out of Michigan St ran a blistering 4.38 at the Spartans Pro Day in 2014. The scouting reports I viewed on Fowler mention his positives and negatives and I listed some of those below:
Positives: Size/speed freak, Athletically, up there with Cody Latimer for Broncos rookies, Improved as senior season went on, Showed an ability to make tough catches and adjust to poorly thrown balls, Explosive after the catch, Excellent deep speed, Hands catcher, Aggressive, attacking mentality, Good field vision, Could be better pro than college player, Pretty solid downfield blocker
Negatives: Injury in sophomore season (medical red flag), Inconsistent, Occasionally gives up on routes, Doesn’t always come away with contested balls, Lack of ‘elite’ production
- Number Two: Fowler is a best selling author his book is entitled “Silver Spoon: The Imperfect Guide to Success.”
- Number Three: Fowler is also a motivational speaker who was trained through the NFL Speakers Bureau.
- Bonus: Fowler spent four years with the Broncos and was a member of the Super Bowl 50 championship team in 2016.
