Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

According to Ravens Insider's Aaron Wilson, the New Orleans Saints will take a look at a draft prospect from a local school on April 11th. Tulane Cornerback Ryan Travis is scheduled to workout for the team on that day to show his skills.

Travis had a total of 198 tackles(13.5 for a loss), 3 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 26 passes defended, and 6 interceptions. Two of those interceptions were returned for touchdowns.

Ryan Travis
#10 / Cornerback / Tulane Green Wave

Height: 6-0

Weight: 172

Year: senior

Tulane quarterback Ryan Griffin also just recently worked out for the Saints. He and Travis are both said to have performed well at their Pro Day.

No doubt the reason for several of these workouts have come to light because of the connection the Saints have to Tulane head football coach Curtis Johnson who was the wide receiver coach there from 2006-2011.

Any tape on him?

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

Well, at least he isn't short.

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

Getting a little carried away now with the favors to coach Curtis, I think. Yeah, we get it, Tulane has a serious program now. Got it. Message received. All promising high school players out there who want a fast track to the Saints and the NFL, please report to Tulane immediately. We get the hint.

May want to watch it with the mute button

6'0 is short for a QB

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

He's a CB, not a QB

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

THIS IS RIDICULOUS 1st a QB that wasn't even invited to the combine then a cb too! All they are doing is trying to promote Tulane cause they sure won't sign these guys! I MEAN REALLY MAYBE THEY GET A CALL FROM THE CARDINALS OR BILLS lol But the Saints are just trying to stroke some egos! I HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD OF ANY OF THESE BUMS!

If you can PLAY they will find you.

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

From a fan that "actually" follows Tulane football, Ryan Travis is a pretty decent CB... He'd be a good undrafted pick-up for us, I'd say he'd be on par with Corey White

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

YEA just watched the highlights he looks pretty dynamic against weaker college competition but he could be a hidden gem that's just not on McShay and Kiper's radar so much of where people are drafted is all about recognition and exposure IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT ACTUAL VALUE OR TALENT! THE MEDIA "Kiper and McShay" HAVE GOTTEN THEIR FARE SHARE OF GMs FIRED! It pisses me off when they discredit or credit one but not the other! If your from a big school or if your dynamic or flashy or on a great team YOU GET NOTICED, BUT THEY ARE PUBLIC INFLUENCED WAY TOO OFTEN AND TOO MUCH! They either go for or against popular opinion it's almost comical!
I TRUST THE SAINTS ORGANIZATION win lose or draw I go down blazing with them just like to voice some of my southern insight from the Top of the Boot!

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

ALSO I want them to sign Spencer Ware and maybe Russell Shepherd but definitely Ware cause of his ability on 3rd down and in passing packages even short yardage situations! He picks up a blitz and catches the ball about as good as any RB in the draft plus he's about a lock as an undrafted fa but that doesn't mean he's not going to be effective. #Ivory I know they'll be trading one of our many RB so they'll be able to add another after the draft! I BELIEVE THERE IS A TON OF TALENT THAT WILL BE IN THE UNDRAFTED FA POOL And you know Sean and Mickey love to find hidden underrated gems! And I'm of the belief we might should draft one late like Colby Cameron out of LaTech: He's accurate and athletic also smart and instinctive!

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

It amazes me how just because they come from Tulane they're bums nobody heard of. How's Matt Forte doing? I remember when a couple of us mentioned his name when he entered the draft and most people said he couldn't be any good, he went to Tulane. Granted Tulane doesn't have the money to land the talent LSU does but that doesn't mean they don't have good players that are NFL caliber.

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

Leave no stone unturned.

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

He looks good in his highlight film but AGAINST WEAKER COMPETITION! So there is some questions to be answered before he can make a team but he looked like a playmaker in the film if he is #10 which I'm sure he is! We probably will sign him to a. UFA futures contract and be given a shot on the practice squad first!
WE ACTUALLY HAVE TALENT ALL OVER OUR DEFENSE! It just isn't built for a a 4-3 soft zone scheme like Spags used! Now I know we have our older guys that are in twilight mode but we also have alot of hungry young athletic guys ready to take their place! And we will be adding alot more because of the expected UFA that will slip out of the draft and the players get a say in where they go because the money is roughly the same! SAINTS ARE AN ATTRACTIVE DESTINATION IN MY BOOK

Did you forget where the "caps lock" is again?

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

I think he looks pretty good on a sorry Tulane team.

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

To me it seems like you're either undervaluing White or overvaluing Travis when making that comparison - the only even comparison between the two is that they both are from small schools; Tulane and Samford.

If this guy is in fact on par with White - the Saints should definitely pick him up, and even think about using a pick (6th) on him if other teams become aware of his skill level, but I doubt that is really the case with Travis.

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

I would actually believe its the opposite way around. Having Coach Johnson at Tulane should give the Saints a lot more information on the guys on the roster than what you would have on any other college. And besides, its quite easy o bring somebody in for a workout when basically all they have to do is walk across the street.

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

I decided just to skip his posts from now on until he learns to abide by the forum etiquette, which is a shame because he does have some good points on topics and he clearly has knowledge of the game.

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

From the tape it looks like he contests the ball well, has good hands for the pick and didn't shy away from any tackle, his first tackle was against a FB that looked twice the size of him

Its not like we are giving up a high pick for him, if he's a late rounder of even undrafted I think you have to bring him in

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

no, but I saw him in person. ULM burnt him and the rest of Tulane for 56 points last year. Could of been a lot worse too.

Re: Saints to workout Tulane's CB Ryan Travis
 

That or he just needs a new keyboard.
Either way when people rant like that I normally don't read what they have to say anyhow
