The majority of the tryout players at New Orleans Saints rookie minicamp this weekend will be hoping to earn their first NFL job, but at least one participant will be trying to have a career renaissance.
Safety Matt Elam, a first-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2013, is trying out for the Saints this weekend, according to a league source. The Boston Globe first reported the tryout.
The 26-year-old Elam spent four years with the Ravens. He missed all of 2015 with a torn biceps, and when he played in 2013, 2014 and 2016, his playing time and production decreased each season.
