Full disclosure, I work in Orange Beach, Alabama. Home of former Troy University quarterback Brandon Silvers. So I’ve been following him throughout the draft process. I was disappointed when the news broke that he was getting an invite to participate in rookie minicamp with the Philadelphia Eagles but also glad that he was getting the opportunity.
Then came the follow-up. Silvers tweeted later in the day that there had been a change of plans and he’d received an invite from the Saints as well. Growing up a Saints fan, the decision was easy.
Many Saints fans know Orange Beach, Alabama.
