NEW ORLEANS – There aren’t many NFL teams within shouting distance of Huntsville, Alabama.
The Titans and Falcons sit closest to Darian Stewart’s hometown, but both are more than 100 miles away.
Then there’s New Orleans, which is a lengthy trip across Interstate 20 and down I-59. More than 450 miles separate the two cities, but Stewart said plenty of family members made the trek to the Big Easy to see him play at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday.
Among those who made the trip were nieces and nephews who saw Stewart play in person for the first time.
