Notes, observations and takeaways from Saturday's Saints rookie minicamp session.
A total of 57 players were on-hand for rookie minicamp on Saturday, as we got our first look at the Saints during their afternoon practice session made available to the media. It's important to remember that these practices are just those and don't have contact like training camp. However, we did have some takeaways and observations from the day.There were three less tryout players than what was listed originally, as Cam Wire, Jakeem Grant and Cole Beck were removed.
If you didn't get the roster numbers for the draft class, here they are: Taliese Fuaga , Kool-Aid McKinstry , Spencer Rattler , Jaylan Ford , Bub Means , Khristian Boyd and Josiah Ezirim . Remember that these are not official numbers and could change. Spencer Rattler made some good throws on the day. There's a lot to like there, and you just hope to see more of it as things progress. While these stats may not necessarily mean much, he finished the day going 5-of-6 in 7's and 6-of-6 in team. One of the best throws came at the end of practice when he connected on an deep ball over the middle to Bub Means. The only lone negative play was a fumbled snap. It wasn't entirely clear whether that was on the center or not.
I caught up with Darren Rizzi to ask about the new kickoff rule. This is quite intriguing to say the least. During special teams drills, you would see the team working on the left and right side of the kick formations. So, in essence it was three attackers vs. three defenders with a returner. New Orleans is going to try to train every player at this spot, and we saw various combinations of blockers with linebackers, defensive backs, defensive linemen and vice versa on the cover team.
