The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that the Saints have high expectations for second-year receiver Nick Toon, who missed his rookie season with foot surgery. Toon, who spent most of the offseason working out back at Wisconsin, could play a key role for a Saints team that hasn't re-signed veteran receiver Devery Henderson to this point. He could be a third or fourth receiver, along with Joe Morgan, depending on what other moves the Saints make at the receiver position in the draft or free agency. "We expected a big guy, a big receiver who was polished, which he is. He had a great pedigree (the son of former NFL receiver Al Toon), came from a great program, was well-coached at Wisconsin. And he just had a medical issue he had to overcome," general manager Mickey Loomis said. "So we liked everything we saw, yet we haven't seen enough yet. But he's smart, we know that. A lot of physical ability, we know that. So all the signs, all the flags were positive. And everything we thought from him coming out of Wisconsin was confirmed or better so far. But he has a lot to prove yet." (Updated 04/12/2013)
