The New Orleans Saints brought in former Tulane receiver Xavier Rush roughly a week ago for a workout and Saturday he went through his first training camp practice with the team.
Rush said he was eating wings when he got the call from the Saints and was happy to get an opportunity with the team that reunites him with his former college coach in receivers coach Curtis Johnson, who was the Green Wave coach when Rush played for the program.
That familiarity helped him in Saturday's practice as Tulane under Johnson used similar terminology and route concepts to the Saints.
