NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints struggled here and there on the offensive line in 2013. It was apparent that the weak spot of Drew Brees‘ protection was at left tackle. When Coach Sean Payton finally had enough of Charles Brown, he called upon Terron Armstead during the Week 15 matchup against the St. Louis Rams.
Armstead was taken as the Black and Gold’s No. 76 overall selection in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Manufactured at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, he earned All-SWAC honors in 2010, 2011 and 2012 . He was not only an outstanding football player, but he played an essential role on the schools’ track and field team as a shot put champion. Armstead passed on several Division 1 scholarships because Pine Bluff’s coach was the only one that would allow him to participate in both sports.
