Offensive lineman Khalif Barnes participated in an NFL rookie minicamp this May for the first time since 2005.

The difference was this year Barnes was trying out for the New Orleans Saints instead of learning about the NFL like when he was a second-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

As he hoped to catch on with a team for a 13th season, Barnes experienced a funny moment during a meeting before this year's rookie camp.

"It was kind of funny because I looked around and I saw all these kids, and we all had to introduce ourselves," he said.
