Meachem looks to justify his draft pick status and starts off on the right foot according to the TP’s Mike Triplett.

If we were busting out our “Who’s Hot” award today, I’d give it to third-year receiver Robert Meachem. Meachem made at least two spectacular catches while consistently getting open and reeling in the ball. Later in practice, Meachem landed hard on his shoulder after making a terrific diving catch on a deep ball behind cornerback Tracy Porter. Saints analyst Bobby Hebert went so far as to call it Meachem’s best practice to date as a Saint. Both Coach Sean Payton and Brees said Meachem’s confidence has continued to grow, and he’s taking advantage of getting the extra reps while starting receivers Marques Colston and Lance Moore are recovering from injuries.

Robert Meachem looked very good as he made several nice grabs in traffic and had the catch of the day right in front of the media as he ran stride for stride with Tracey Porter then dove for the ball making a very good reception. Meachem also hauled in a TD against Jabari Greer.
Adrian Arrington made several nice grabs including a TD from Drew Brees in which Brees ran down the field yelling and leaped into the air banging his body against Arrington’s in excitement over the score. Up to that point, the defense was getting the best of the Offense.
