I've been high on the Arrington pick since the second day of the draft. I've been watching a lot of Michigan replays on some of the college networks, and the guy just looks like he'll have what it takes to be a star in the NFL. I don't know how he slipped so far after the performance he put on at the Tangeri....er, Capital One Bowl, but I'm sure glad he's a Saint.

Arrington will another Iowa native like Tim Dwight to star at the WR position wish him the best of luck!
