The New Orleans Saints have quietly been doing some work on the mid-round prospects in this year’s quarterbacks class. KPRC 2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports that the Saints held a private workout with former UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson at the Bruins’ campus this week, having previously met with Houston’s Clayton Tune and Incarnate Word’s Lindsey Scott Jr., as well as Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker, among others.
Thompson-Robinson is very intriguing. He’s one of the most-experienced passers in college football and a smooth athlete, though he flirts with NFL size thresholds at just 6-foot-1.5 and 203 pounds. He’s well-regarded for his leadership skills and playmaking ability with his legs, but he’s also got a pro-quality arm and can make all the throws asked of him. But he’s prone to panicking under pressure and struggles with ball security — he fumbled 39 times and threw 36 interceptions in 48 games at UCLA.
