Saints News 4/2/15: Saints Interested in Miami Wideout Phillip Dorsett

From NOLA.com: The New Orleans Saints are bringing in Miami wide receiver Phillip Dorsett for a visit, according to NFL draft analyst Tony Pauline. Pauline, who was in attendance at Miami's Pro Day, said Saints coach Sean Payton and assistant general manager Jeff Ireland were impressed with the speedy wideout after he blazed a 40-yard dash in 4.25 seconds. According to Pauline, Payton and Ireland were "gushing" over Dorsett on the sidelines and discussing how he would make a good fit for the Saints' offense. The Saints are in the market for a speedy receiver after trading Kenny Stills to the Dolphins.
