For at least one day, LSU Tigers quarterback No. 9 practiced in the building where New Orleans Saints quarterback No. 9 honed his craft. Now, there’s no way Joe Burrow will take the reins from Drew Brees — but it’s still cool to see him and his LSU teammates sharing space with the Saints at the team practice facility in Metairie, La.
LSU coach Ed Orgeron brought his team to New Orleans ahead of Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship game against the Clemson Tigers, which will be held in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. LSU is expected to draw strong crowd support by playing so deep in their home territory, which prompted Clemson coach Dabo Swinney to liken the game to traveling to another country.
Anyway, back to the Saints connection: players like Cameron Jordan and his family joined Thomas Morstead and general manager Mickey Loomis at the team practice facility when the LSU Tigers were in town, while backup guard Will Clapp caught up with Orgeron, his former coach. It’s kind of fascinating to see Jordan, someone some Saints fans may take for granted, be surrounded by star-struck college players insisting he’s someone they want to be like someday. See it all for yourself:
