New Orleans Saints wide receiver Bennie Fowler is gong into his seventh year in the league now. This year, he enters a Saints organization under conditions so specific and unique, they have drawn the attention of fans and media. Fowler got his shot when he joined with Saints newly acquired receiver Emmanuel Sanders who was meeting quarterback Drew Brees for a work out in Colorado. Apparently, that session went well.
“I just wanted an opportunity to get in front of Drew (Brees).” Fowler told New Orleans media on Wednesday. “[Brees] asked me if I was on a team and I was like, ‘No, I’m not on a team right now because of COVID.
