Recapping all of the new arrivals ahead of New Orleans Saints training camp
If you’ll be making a visit to New Orleans Saints training camp this summer, odds are there will be some jerseys and players you don’t recognize. The team made a lot of new additions this offseason – signing veteran free agents from other teams, spending several premium draft picks on top college talents, and rounding out the group with a dozen or so undrafted rookie free agents.
So it’s a good time to recap each new arrival, along with their current jersey number and where they last suited up. Some of those numbers will change in the weeks and months ahead as various players are released and new designations open up, so keep your head on a swivel and look out for updates. For now, here are all of the new Saints players to watch in training camp:
