VIDEO: Nick Toon Joins Array Of Offensive Weapons In New Orleans

The New Orleans Saints added to their arsenal of offensive weapons this April when they drafted Wisconsin wide receiver Nick Toon in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL draft. Toon is a bigger receiver who had plenty of success playing in Madison for the Rose Bowl-bound Badgers. SB Nation's Dan Rubenstein interviewed Toon in May at the NFLPA's Rookie Premiere event and the wideout talked about his future in New Orleans.

Toon said he was largely unfamiliar with New Orleans, but one thing he's looking forward to is sampling the cuisine. On the football side of things, it doesn't get much better than playing with quarterback Drew Brees. Toon said he has yet to meet Brees, as the Pro Bowl quarterback continues to work to sort out his contract situation, but he's confident he can succeed in an explosive Saints offense that spreads the ball around to several pass-catchers.
