In his weekly "Monday Morning Quarterback" column on SportsIllustrated.com, Peter King called out Saints top pick Robert Meachem:

"I think the rookie who's made the worst first impression in the three weeks since draft day, easily, is New Orleans wide receiver Robert Meachem. How on God's green earth can a rook be 19 pounds overweight at the team's first mini-camp? And what kinds of red flags must that send up to the coaching staff and front office about to make the man a jillionaire? 'I think I had like nine [pre-draft] visits to teams,' Meachem said after injuring an ankle at the Saints' minicamp last week. 'And every visit they gave you a big old meal. I tried to work out when I could, but I don't think I got enough workouts in.' Uh-oh." Read more. (Note: I linked specifcally to the page containing the Meachem quote, which appeared on the final page of King's five page column. It's listed as #8.)
