The New Orleans Saints are trying out quarterback Luke McCown during this week's minicamp. McCown, whose eight-year NFL career includes stints in Cleveland, Tampa Bay and Jacksonville, began his workouts Tuesday morning.

"All in all, it was a good morning," he said.

Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt said McCown handled himself well at practice.

"He did a good job today getting guys in and out of the huddle and getting people lined up. "

Vitt said the team is familiar with McCown.

"He's been a thorn in our side," Vitt said. "He beat us in '07 when he was with Tampa Bay. He's got a little bit of knowledge with this system because he was under (Jon) Gruden at Tampa Bay."

McCown agreed that Gruden's system is similar to the one in New Orleans.

While McCown isn't sure what will come of the tryout, he remains optimistic about his chances.

"Any time you're invited, they're saying, 'hey we want to take a look at you and see if what we've heard about you and what we've seen on tape confirms what we see on the field,'" he said. "I think any time you're invited, that's an opportunity. We'll see where it goes from here."
