Brandon Thomas tore ACL in Saints workout | ProFootballTalk
Clemson offensive lineman Brandon Thomas suffered more than just a knee injury when he tore his ACL. The injury, which will drop his draft stock considerably, happened on one of his many workouts with individual teams. According to Mike Triplett of ESPN.

The 6-foot-3, 317-pound Thomas received second-, third- and fourth-round projections from various outlets prior to his injury, for which he will have surgery as the May 8-10 draft is fast approaching. The Saints worked him out after Charles Brown (who started the season at left tackle for New Orleans in 2013) and shortly before Brian de la Puente (the starting center since 2011) left for other teams in free agency.

"And that play really bothered me, sincerely," Blank said, via ESPN.com. "It bothered me that none of our players, they all complained, but none of them went to the safety on the Saints and did anything. Not that they would start a fight, but just kind of put their finger in his chest and saying, ‘That’s not acceptable.’"

At a time when the Falcons have no interest in a free-agent running back who recently landed on the market, they're taking a close look at another running back who played in the same division. OK, he's a fullback. But still a running back.
