On Monday afternoon, in a conclusion of the rookie minicamp, the New Orleans Saints coaching staff described the past weekend a “productive” one. Actually it would hardly have been an unproductive one as the camp was filled with 65 men including six rookies, 14 undrafted free agents, five members of last year’s practice squad and 40 try out players.
Among the heavily focused rookies, tight end Jimmy Graham was one of the most impressive guys. He was compared to many other all pros at his position, and the young man seemed to be a bit annoyed with the endless comparison.
"I've enjoyed every minute, it's special to be at Rookie Minicamp with the defending Super Bowl champions," Graham said. "Those are great players, hall of fame players, people that have opened the door and made it easier for me, but I'm just trying to be Jimmy Graham and take it one day at a time."
First-round pick Patrick Robinson expectedly received high praise from coach Payton, who said Robins had excellent ball skills and great speed. In one word, Payton tried to make people believe that their choice was right. As for other less impressive players in Saints jerseys, they are altogether described by Payton as in good shape and ready for opportunities, which are always enough in the Saints no matter where the players are picked.
