With the likes of rookie Mark Ingram, along with veterans Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles, the New Orleans Saints have a deep, and talented, group of running backs.

When the NFL lockout came to an end, the New Orleans Saints traded running back Reggie Bush to the Miami Dolphins.

What a difference a year makes. Last year, the New Orleans Saints running back corps was decimated, due to injuries.

The New Orleans Saints open up their preseason tonight at home against the San Francisco 49ers. While many fans will focus on some of the "big name" newcomes like Darren Sproles and Shaun Rogers, the defensive coaching staff will be busy keeping tabs on several position battles.

Darren Sproles is viewed by many Saints fans as Reggie Bush's replacement. However, Sproles could bring some of the same elements Bush brought to the offense, and more. In essense, he is the key to the Saints revamped running game.

How did your favorite NFL team fare in a very short offseason?

NFL free agents may have numerous reasons for wanting to sign with a certain team. Money, playing time, the system, and playing in a desirable city are all things that might factor into a players' decision.

To build a successful NFL franchise, teams have to make a big splash in free agency, every now and then, but it's those signing that aren't really the attention grabbers that can make a team really special.

New Orleans Saints quarterback is really happy about the recent signing of free-agent running back Darren Sproles.

The Saints wasted no time finding Reggie Bush's replacement, agreeing to terms last night with free agent running back Darren Sproles. The 4 year deal is reportedly worth $14 million, with $4 million guaranteed.
