Donte Stallworth made his mark with the New Orleans Saints before Sean Payton took over as head coach, but he remembers his time with Payton fondly. Stallworth took to his official Twitter account to recall his first conversation with Payton back in 2006.
“I met Sean Payton at the Saints facility shortly after his hire. We had a good, quick (conversation) about his expectations,” Stallworth wrote, “He closed with, ‘Did you pick up a playbook?'”
“No,” Stallworth replied, “can I?”
Payton answered him, “I’ll grab you one. I’m gonna put you in a real offense, not that arena (expletive) y’all were running last year.
