SEC Now LSU Pro Day: Roman Harper says Saints are "too close" to LSU to draft them

Let’s miss out on top talent bc they already have chemistry with our team.



Makes sense

Roman Harper isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, you have to excuse him.

Gumps will always be Gumps.

They used other teams/schools as examples as well. Atlanta and Georgia. Carolina and Clemson.

Implying that the players at LSU already play and spend a lot of time with a ton of guys from New Orleans that they need to go out and be in other cities/teams before coming to the Saints, for lack of better words.

I didn't hear what he said but are you sure he implied that or did you just infer it?

When I read

The thing I immediately inferred is that the Saints personnel evaluators may not be objective regarding LSU players, perhaps n=being emotionally invested in these players. Until I read your post I never even thought he might mean LSU players need to be exposed to other places.

Exactly. STFU Gump.

Roman Harper deplanes an airplane before the people seated in rows ahead of him.

Sadly, this is a fact.

I've heard stories about Sean Payton not wanting LSU players because the media focused on them too much for his liking. I talked to Mike Detillier at one of the last Bayou Bashes, and I forgot the LSU player, but he was either on the practice squad or just playing special teams and a reporter asked Payton about the player and he got pissed off. That started a long drought of LSU players on the Saints.

A former LSU players has won how many consecutive super bowls including the Saints only SB, and you want to exclude that set of players because of distance? Don't make sense.
