Former Coastal Carolina University fullback Tommy Fraser finally got his first call since the beginning of draft day, from the New Orleans Saints, to invite him for a tryout in the team’s rookie training camp. You know, after suffering the frustration for not being called during the draft, how excited Fraser was feeling for having a chance to compete for a job with the defending champion team of this season.
"[I] watched the draft with my family, I was excited. Not too much happened during the draft," said Fraser. "About 30 minutes after the draft, my agent called and let me know we were going to camp with the [New Orleans] Saints."
Although it seemed that no team held much interest in picking Fraser, he was still a popular choice among the undrafted free agents. Beside the Saints, Fraser also received interest from the Atlanta Falcons, but to work with the Super Bowl XLIV winners is just anyway a much better idea. So Fraser is now preparing for the upcoming training camp by working out double time to keep shape. According to the young athlete himself, what attracted Saints was his speed and ability to catch passes, which are most important factors in a good fullback. So he is confident that he is very likely to be officially given a Saints jersey after the camp that will last two and a half days.
If adding Fraser, the Saints will have four fullbacks on the roster beside ten-year veteran Heath Evans, Zak Keasey and Marcus Mailei, and the latter two actually do not have much experience of playing in real game and are considered to have less offensive skills than Fraser.
