The Saints are certainly getting active on their bye week, spreading their scouting reach all over the country and using every coach, every front office member, and a strong handful of players to make sure they cover all their bases and get a feel for who will be a future Saint and help lead to more of the success they’ve seen this year. It’s worth noting as well that both the Saints head coach and general manager will be watching UCLA vs USC as it has top prospect Caleb Williams as well as many other high quality players that may enter the draft. Starting quarterback, Derek Carr, is also watching a game that features two senior quarterbacks in Michael Penix Jr and DJ Uiagalelei in hopes he can be a part of this franchise for a long time as a mentor. Many players, but not all, are also returning to the colleges they attended and played for in hopes of developing positive relationships with the schools and players to encourage those wanting to play for the Saints even if a team snatches them away from New Orleans in the draft. Chris Olave can hopefully convince the star studded receiving group at Ohio State that they want to be Saints one day. All in all, New Orleans wide reach to 23 games featuring 46 teams is sure to give them a leg up in the coming off-season as they look to get younger and maintain a high quality of on-field play.
