This is from the Times-Picayune:
CAMP CONFIDENTIAL
Who's hot:
Mike Hass
The rookie receiver missed much of the Saints' offseason work because of college requirements, but he had a strong first day of practice. As usual, he caught everything thrown his way, including a crowd-pleasing diving catch deep downfield.

I was in New Orleans yesterday (Friday). The WWL-AM radio sports team gave live reports from Saints Training Camp in Jackson, MS. Hokie Gajan and Bobby Hebert excitedly reported on how Mike Hass burned dreadlocked DB Mike McKenzie for a long touchdown, and said Hass was the most impressive of all the receivers.
With the new Head Coach (Payton) and staff, Hass, a sixth round draft pick, may get a fair opportunity and make the squad and compete for playing time. QB-turned-broadcaster Bobby Hebert repeatedly praised Hass and contrasted the poor performance of WR Devery Henderson (2nd round pick fron 2004) with Hass'. Hebert and Gajan speculated that Hass may bump Henderson from the #3 spot on the depth chart. In addition, they wondered aloud whether Reggie Bush -- assuming he gets signed -- will return kicks and punts, thereby eliminating the need for beer delivery driver-turned-return specialist, who has been #5 on the WR chart. If Lewis is cut, it will open a roster spot for someone like Chase Lyman to make the squad.
