Saints assistant GM Jeff Ireland on hand for Jaycee Horn's impressive pro day

The New Orleans Saints need help at cornerback. After releasing Janoris Jenkins as a salary cap casualty, they’re staring at a training camp competition between career backups Patrick Robinson and P.J. Williams to fill in opposite Marshon Lattimore. So it makes sense the Saints to take a hard look at this year’s rookie draft class.

And, wouldn’t you know it, one of best cornerbacks happens to be a son of former Saints great Joe Horn. Jaycee Horn starred for South Carolina last season and lit up the crowd at his pro day; Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy reported that Saints assistant general manager/vice president of college personnel Jeff Ireland was among the attendees.
