DeMo's rockin' the old-school number

Here's an article up on the New Orleans Saints team website about Pressley. Not a ton of new information here, but a few interesting nuggets.

1) Pressley said that he was particularly intent on getting signed and in camp on time to make sure his dedication was obvious to the Saints, particularly after injuries kept him out of previos mini camps. Smart move.

2) Pressley's going back to No. 90, the number he wore at Dudley until his senior season. That was the number on his back the first time I saw him play, against Glenn. I remember watching him burst through the line and run down Glenn's running back, who was pretty darned good as I recall, from behind. And I remember thinking, "Man, I think this kid's going to be pretty good."

I should have been an NFL scout, I tell ya.
