The first thing that stands out about Taylor Mehlhaff, the Saints' newest member picked in the sixth round, is that he's confident. Several times he called himself an athlete and said his kickoffs are what set him apart.

Without further ado, Mehlhaff -

Saints contact with:
"A little bit of a surprise. They flew up and worked me out on Monday."

First Saints PK pick since Morten Andersen in '82:
"That's someone you look up to."

What sets him apart:
"Kickoffs are become a premium. You look at Devin Hester. The returners are getting better and better. The kickoff team is important and it all starts with the kicker."
