INDIANAPOLIS - New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton has been vocal about securing a player to affect the pass rush through free agency or the NFL Draft in late April.
And when it comes to the latter, the Saints are active in evaluating defensive ends and linebackers at the NFL Scoutng Combne with a goal to improve on 30 total sacks, which ranked 27th in the league in 2016.
From Ohio's Tarell Basham to Villanova's Tanoh Kpassagnon, numerous defensive ends confirmed Saturday they either had or are scheduled for a formal interview or an informal interview with the Saints.
