The crash course that 18 New Orleans Saints rookies took Monday afternoon likely pales in comparison to what they undertook, and continue to undergo, as they attempt to learn New Orleans’ offense and defense.
Homework is optional – players can study to familiarize themselves if they choose, but there isn’t likely to be a quiz on the information and even if there was one, the price of failure for the individual and team isn’t nearly so penal as forgetting an on-field assignment.
But a trip to the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame Museum, located at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, proved to be a nice addition to the education of New Orleans’ rookie class.
