Saints coach makes perfect claim about young player that can help revitalize his NFL career, and it separates him from Dennis Allen
The New Orleans Saints have plenty of choices to make on the offensive side of the football. What will wide receiver depth look like? Who will start at quarterback? Who will start along the offensive line?
The running back spot is set as far as a starter. Alvin Kamara remains one of the premier talents at the position in the NFL. Behind him, there is plenty of unknown who will step up as the backup RB.
Kellen Moore says Kendre Miller has clean slate
According to Kellen Moore, young running back Kendre Miller has a "blank slate" as far as his opportunity goes. He's going to be given chances to prove that he can make an impact for New Orleans, and he does deserve it.
Miller has played well at times so far in his pro career, but his availability has been a bit of a knock on his outlook for the future. Former Saints head coach Dennis Allen was routinely blunt about players missing practice time due to injury during his time in New Orleans, and Miller was at the center of that discussion on occasion.
While he was correct about some of his points regarding playing time following practice availability, it seemed to take a toll on the opportunities given to Miller - even when healthy.
Now, with a new staff in the building, Miller won't have to worry about any preconceived notions. He can focus on his development and staying healthy for the Saints backfield.
Backup RB competition for New Orleans
Miller will be landlocked in a competition for the backup running back spot behind Alvin Kamara. Along with Miller, the Saints currently have rookie sixth-round pick Devin Neal, veteran Clyde Edwards-Helaire, UDFA Marcus Yarns, and Velus Jones on the roster at RB.
