The Saints should be even more dangerous in the passing game this season with Jeremy Shockey on board for the 2008 season.  Shockey played in 14 games for the Giants last season and he caught 57 passes for 619 yards (10.9 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  Look for those numbers to be much better in 2008 with Drew Brees throwing to Shockey instead of Eli Manning.  Shockey has now played in 83 games in his NFL career and he has caught 371 passes for 4,228 yards (11.4 avg) with 27 TD grabs.

31-year old Billy Miller will be the #2 TE for the Saints and he’s also a decent receiver.  He played in all 16 games for the Saints last season and he caught 27 passes for 328 yards (12.1 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Look for Miller to catch about the same amount of passes this season unless Shockey gets injured.  Miller has now played in 99 games in his NFL career and he has caught 155 passes for 1,669 yards (10.8 avg) with 9 TD grabs.

32-year old Mark Campbell will be the #3 TE for the Saints and he’s a solid blocker in the running game.  He did not play last season due to injury.  Campbell has now played in 102 games in his NFL career and he caught 134 passes for 1,235 yards (9.2 avg) with 10 TD grabs.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE 2008 SEASON:  B+
