Saints QB Garrett Grayson: 'I owe my life' to Jim McElwain

METAIRIE, La. -- Garrett Grayson's desperation level and comfort level have both increased significantly heading into his third NFL season.

The New Orleans Saints quarterback -- who was cut last September before spending the year on the practice squad -- knows that this is the summer he has to prove he’s worth keeping around.

Grayson might not even be here if the Saints had drafted QB Patrick Mahomes II in the first round, which they strongly considered. And he appears to have little chance of competing for the No. 2 job after the Saints re-signed veteran Chase Daniel to serve as Drew Brees' backup.
