White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. – Hakeem Nicks’ return to health and proven ability kept him relevant to the New Orleans Saints and fresh in their mind after Hicks worked out for the team in March.

“You know how on text messages, you can see the little ‘R’ that means ‘read’?” Nicks said.
“I was texting him ever since I left from that last visit, in March.
