Both were highly over rated as is Les

Both players had a ton of talent but lacked the mental parts needed.

I honestly don't think there's room for such a limited role player on this 53 when there might already be upwards of 10 DBs making the final roster.

I'll take anyone that can come in and make the Saints a better team.

I'm a Bama fan so I don't know anything about LSU players. I'll just have to wait and see how they pan out. Most likely none of these guys will make the roster.

Hear ye hear ye.....

If Jordan Jefferson makes the Saints roster, I will stop being a Saints fan.

I've never met an LSU fan that had distain for Hester. He was a hell of a football player for LSU. In his 1 season where he started at running back for LSU, he rushed for over a thousand yards and 12 scores. He got playing time because he was productive, respected by everyone(team captain), and worked harder than his counterparts... not because he was the teachers pet. Get it right. He earned his playing time out working players who had far superior talent than he did.

don't know why all the bad yap on hester, the man had a heart like secretariat. gave his all, what hurts his ability in nfl is that he was a north-south hammer with no assattall. if he had some weight to his heart he would be still on a roster. now as for Jefferson, get a CDL cat and get on with life.

Hester looks like he is focused. I say give him a chance and let's make an Ingram vs Hester poll already.
