4. Travaris Cadet, RB, Saints

Travaris Cadet is one of the most interesting ‘running backs’ in the NFL today. Fun fact — Cadet has 26 career carries, and 102 career receptions.

That’s a pretty staggering difference for a player that has always been listed as a running back. As a receiver out of the backfield, Cadet is obviously a very valuable player. He proved that last year with 40 catches and a career-high four touchdowns.

Because of his ability as a pass catcher, Cadet could draw interest on the trade market. The Saints drafted Alvin Kamara and brought in Adrian Peterson to pair with Mark Ingram. It’s not against the laws of the NFL to have too much depth at a position, but the Saints could get decent value for Cadet in a trade and some team would get a very solid piece to their offensive puzzle.
