Saints signed Larry Warford because he’s got ‘ass and mass’

Sean Payton is the Dr. Seuss of the NFL.

Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.

Offensive guards are typically not high-profile players, so you may have never heard of Larry Warford. The Saints signed the former Lions guard as a free agent this offseason, because Warford has the two qualities Sean Payton covets in interior linemen: ass and mass.

Excellent rhyming aside, the Saints will certainly hope that Warford’s ass and mass will equal kicking ass. New Orleans signed Warford to a four-year, $34 million contract with $17 million guaranteed.

It must work differently for quarterbacks. Jay Cutler clearly has the ass part under control, but remains on the market.
