Tulane’s compact, crafty slot-and-return weapon
In the 2013 season, Devin Boutte was a low-volume but useful Tulane piece: he played in 18 career games, caught his first pass in 2012, and contributed as a punt returner and kickoff returner while giving the Green Wave depth at receiver[1][2]. He was originally a two-star recruit with a reputation as a short, quick-footed, crafty receiver, and he arrived with strong high-school production despite a senior-year knee injury[1][13]. If you value toughness, special-teams value, and a savvy route-runner over size, Boutte fits the “do the dirty work” mold[1][13].
