Welcome to New Orleans Akiem. Now come on let’s show all those SAINTS haters that we can still win the Super bowl with the bounty on us and without Sean Payton.

Greetings from the WHO DAT nation.

From shoving that player at 1:06 to hitting the QB at 1:08, he covered that ground so damn fast for being 6'5", 318 pounds! I've been frustrated with the lack of sacks from the Saints' D in the last couple of years, hopefully this guy will help. (Really wish we would've gotten Julius Peppers :p)

Looks like freakin high school football in Louisiana or Texas....Not jumping on his band wagon yet.

this dude has to be a beast in the canadian football rules he must defend more ground because the field is wider so to do as well as he does against the run and pass is 10 times harder then in american football. welcome to the nfl and the who dat nation.

Needs a lot of work on his form/fundamentals but this kid is a true specimen at his size. Incredible speed and pursuit ability. He could be molded into a sacking machine given the proper instruction. Congrats on the draft kid, WHO DAT
