The Facts: Toon has never entered an NFL offseason with this much opportunity. By virtue of three seasons in New Orleans and a six-game stretch filling in for Brandin Cooks at the end of the 2014 season, Toon seems to have a good shot at the No. 3 role behind Cooks and Marques Colston this fall, if he can hold off a hard-charging group of young players and free agents. But Toon said he’s not thinking about the big-picture personal implications of the Saints offseason. “Pressure is not something that I’ve ever worried about or thought about. I just try to be consistent,” Toon said. “Anything outside of that is out of my control, so do what you’ve got to do to put yourself in the best position for things to work out.”

Diehards Line: Buried on the depth chart for three seasons, Toon finds himself staring at a wide-open path to playing time, cleared by the offseason departures of Kenny Stills, Jimmy Graham and Robert Meacham, all as Toon enters the final season of the four-year rookie deal he signed in 2012. Toon, who spent his first three years at the X receiver spot, has moved to the Z in the Saints’ base offense. Toon will line up off the ball more often, and he’ll be lining up on the strong side of the formation, as opposed to the weak side. Toon, at 6-4 and 220 pounds, has become one of New Orleans’ better run blockers at receiver, an ability that can come in handy as an extra blocker outside the tight end. And when the Saints aren’t operating out of their base formations, Toon can still move around the formation to wherever the Saints need him. That said, Brandon Coleman and Seantavius Jones have been tagged as potential breakout players by HC Sean Payton, veteran free agent Josh Morgan appears to add a special presence over the middle, Joe Morgan is back in the mix and undrafted free agent R.J. Harris had a couple of eye-popping catches during the team’s mandatory minicamp. In other words, this is a situation worth watching next month.
