It was a beautiful day to run in Baton Rouge.
At LSU's Pro Day on Wednesday, Saints defensive line coach Ed
Orgeron was one of five defensive line coaches from the NFL who
personally worked defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey.
Orgeron, who coached against Dorsey when he was the head coach
of the Ole Miss Rebels, exacted a measure of revenge by putting
a gassed but iron-willed Dorsey through a series of drills that
left one of the draft's top prospects in need of a water break.
Saints GM Mickey Loomis was also in attendance. Former Saints
coach Jim Haslett, now defensive coordinator in St. Louis, was
also in attendance. The Rams own the second overall pick.
Meanwhile, Saints representatives were also in place at the University
of South Carolina, South Carolina State, and others. Various media
reports have confirmed what is obvious: that the Saints are along
with the rest of the NFL are scouring collegiate pro days for
a final in-person workout.
The Saints have a private workout scheduled with USC LB Keith
Rivers, whom NOPF has the Saints drafted in their last two mock
drafts, among other prospects.
Shockey Development: Various media outlets are continuing
to link the Saints to interest in Giants TE Jeremy Shockey. A
trade is more likely to be done during the draft than before,
if the Giants are willing to lower their demands to the Saints.
Notes: Former Saints draft pick DT Jason Jefferson has
signed his restricted free agent tender in Buffalo... Women in
Sports and Events has named Saints executive Rita Benson Leblanc
the co-winner of their Woman of the Year Award, along with NBC
Olympics producer Molly Solomon... The Voodoo are 3-1 after the
four weeks and playing superb defense.
