First-year Saints players in awe of a New Orleans phenomenon: the airport welcome parties

Keith Kirkwood experienced a number of firsts on Sunday (Nov. 11). The New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver played in his first official NFL game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium. He caught his first pass as a professional in the second quarter.

But what Kirkwood will remember most about his NFL debut occurred several hours later.

As he turned his car onto the auxiliary road leading out of Atlantic Aviation in Kenner, hundreds of Saints fans lined the street, and there among the throbbing black-and-gold masses was a sign: “I heart Keith Kirkwood #18.”

“It’s just an amazing experience,” said Kirkwood, who was promoted from the Saints' practice squad to the active roster Saturday. “I didn’t know how die-hard and deep the Saints fans can get. It’s humbling to us as an organization and to us as a team. New Orleans Saints fans are like family to us.”

Must be a cool experience as a rookie to see a sign like that

Meanwhile Atlanta fans can't be bothered to sit in their plush seats and actually watch the game live
