Former Colts RB Chad Simpson and former Patriots OT Wesley Britt are among the veterans trying out for the Saints during this weekend’s minicamp, which is otherwise just for rookies.
The Saints have been mentioned as a possible landing place for QB JaMarcus Russell, but it doesn’t seem likely.
Here are some YouTube highlights of the Saints’ rookies from when they were in college.
LB Jason Beauchamp is the kind of athlete defensive coordinator Gregg Williams likes to put on the field.
Former Michigan RB Carlos Brown’s chances of making the roster could be improved by the Saints losing Mike Bell in free agency.
The Saints have 40 tryout players at minicamp overall, highlighted by former Duke basketball player/Syracuse QB Greg Paulus.
A pre-minicamp reminder that the Saints have a long history of taking chances on dark horse players.
Note: There’s very little news coming from the Saints. It almost feels like they’re doing their best to limit press coverage to avoid questions about the “Missing 1,200.” Or about the controversy regarding displaced season-ticket holders.
