The Facts:
The Saints' first-round draft pick admittedly arrived out of shape after falling behind in off-season workouts this spring. He then tweaked his left ankle Sunday morning and had to head to the training room.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Sean Payton was not overly kind or critical when evaluating Meachem. He warned that everyone on the team needs to catch up with their new teammates, who have been in the Saints' off-season conditioning program for two months. "You know, a receiver's got to be able to run all day -- and he needs to drop a lot of weight to get back into the playing shape we saw on film." the coach said of Meachem. "I'm sure he'll work hard at doing that. ..." Meachem said part of the reason he fell behind this spring was that he had nine pre-draft visits with NFL teams, each of which seemed to include a fancy meal or two.
