In late April, the signed to Seth Roberts Jersey He didn't last five games. On Tuesday, the Saints after getting 27 carries and 81 rushing yards out of him.A day later, Saints coach Sean Payton "This was done just using common sense, and we had a chance to get a draft pick next year," Payton said, per NOLA.com "I know Arizona was short at this position, and there's a confidence level we have with how Mark and how Alvin are playing."Payton Matt Skura Jersey 's not wrong.
