Raymond Calais

is this true that he is slightly built?? a former alledged friend of the cajuns, luke j, wrote this.....doesnt seem too pro cajuns.
have saints ever admitted they made wrong move regarding jake delhomme, there had to be more to that story........


“If the Saints are looking for speed, they can take a flier on the local product in Calais. Though he is slightly built, the Breaux Bridge native was a state champion in the 100- and 200-meter races in high school, and his explosive speed translated at Louisiana, where he averaged 7.8 yards per carry in his career.“

First, Luke is great at his job. Calais was measured at 5’8” 188 lbs at the combine and the current average size of nfl RB’s is just under 6’0 and 215 pounds. So 4 inches short and almost 30 pounds lighter than the average I’d say slightly built is a fair assessment. Doesn’t mean he cant be successful but he isn’t a very big guy.

thanks, but to me, short or small are different than build? 188 pounds if mostly lean muscle seems a strong build to me for that shorter height.... i am exact same height and weight, but would consider myself fat and slow and unfortunately not at all a slight build
sugar ray leonard was taller and weighed less for example, and i dont remember him being told he had a slight build?

bigger problem, is when will we break the code as to who is on the inside of the saints org that goes out of their way to not select cajuns. p.s. did they make right call on jake delhomme or not?

Kamara is 5’11” 215 lbs and people say he is of slight build. Calais is closer to sproles size than kamara. Doesn’t mean he won’t be successful. Out of their way to not select Cajuns? As opposed to all the other nfl teams that do? We need to start getting people drafted first

I'll give you Calais in rounds 1-4 at +125 for up to a dime.

A proclaimed betting man, how can he not take that? Failure to act on such a reasonable proposal will tremendously diminish his word.

wow. fair enough then. i doubt im am the only one who wouldnt walk up to either of those gentlemen outside of a bar and taunt them about their slight build, lol.

michael jordan is 6,6 and barely had five pounds on kamara.

You aren't a DL or LB in the NFL and Michael Jordan wasn’t an NFL RB.

Ancient history...the folks who ran that draft for the Saints that year are long gone...

Guys, with Calais, it's his ST skill set and speed...hes plenty big and strong. As I don't recall his bench press rep # from combine, I do recall it was an eye opener...wasnt he 3rd among running backs?
