Hard to envision the newest practice squad member, kicker Dustin Hopkins, being much of a threat to Shayne Graham before the end of the season/playoffs. But it looks like he’ll be in 2015 training camp to give Graham some competition. And with Graham in a mini slump as of late, this kid seems like a threat.
From my friend Ramon Vargas of the Advocate:
Hopkins worked out for the Saints last week alongside Garrett Hartley (now with Cleveland), Zach Hocker and Derek Dimke. Those four all worked out three days after Saints kicker Shayne Graham missed a field goal in New Orleans’ 41-10 defeat at home to the Carolina Panthers.
Saints coach Sean Payton said Hopkins “opened some eyes” during his workout.
