Okafor could be ready by training camp

I’m right on track,” Okafor said at the Saints’ offseason workout. “I should be ready to go by training camp, but honestly, at this point, there’s no rush. We’re just trying to take it one day at a time and make sure that when I do come back I’m right back where I was.”

Part of Okafor’s job this season, he says, will be to help rookie Marcus Davenport. “He’s a Texas kid, so he’s starting off high on the totem pole already,” Okafor joked about the former San Antonio edge rusher who wound up the Saints’ first round draft pick this year.


“He looks like a freak. Everything I hear about him, looks like the physicals aren’t going to be an issue, so he just has to come in and be ready to go and I think he’ll be all right. All you can do is try to give him what older guys gave me. Tell him how this league is, help him with the playbook, any questions he has. Answer those questions honestly, just lead by example and and that’s what I plan on doing.”
