Saints in numbers at Walker, Williams private work out … Roughly half the teams in the NFL had reps at today’s private work out at Georgia for former Bulldog DEs Jalon Walker and Mykel Williams. Somewhat surprisingly, perhaps, the team with the largest contingent in Athens was New Orleans. In fact, the Saints flew a full contingent to Georgia on owner Gayle Benson’s personal plane. It was somewhat surprising because most of the league-wide buzz around the Saints these days has tended to focus on QB Shedeur Sanders after it was announced that starting QB Derek Carr could miss the upcoming season. However, as noted in an earlier report, the Saints themselves seem to have been more focused on edge rushers which kind of got amplified today. The home-town Atlanta Falcons, who are also reportedly looking at upgrading their pass rush, also had multiple people at today’s workout, while there was another report that the Giants also had multiple personnel people in Georgia today. Somewhat surprisingly, one of the team’s that was not represented in Georgia today were the Carolina Panthers, the team most often associated with taking Walker with the 8th pick overall.
