Jacob Hester, Jordan Jefferson trying to make Saints roster

There are several other notable players in the tryout list, including former first-round draft pick Jamaal Anderson (defensive lineman from Arkansas), former Carolina Panthers receiver Armanti Edwards and former Florida Atlantic quarterback Rusty Smith.

Hester, who was a third-round draft pick of the Sam Diego Chargers in 2008, played four seasons at fullback with the Chargers before playing one season with the Denver Broncos in 2012. He was not on an active NFL roster in 2013.

Jefferson, a Desterhan resident who played quarterback at LSU, has not played a regular-season game in the NFL. He was signed by Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent in 2012 but did not stay on the roster long. He did participate in LSU's most recent pro day.

I don't think Hester or Jefferson make the team. A couple of years ago I would have been excited to see this article. Now it's just kind of interesting.

I wouldn't mind Hester. Jefferson? **** no.

Jefferson ?! LMAO.

I would no longer watch football all together if JJ makes the team.

I couldn't stand Jefferson or Hester. Both were Les Miles favs and got playing time just for that. I kno a lot of ppl are going to disagree with me especially with Hester but he was "average" at best for collegiate football. Jefferson was just a train wreck.

At least Hester managed to remain on a NFL roster for several seasons. Jefferson barely had time to strap on a uniform.

We have a lot of rookie & FA receivers and need a 3rd arm to throw them the ball so they get reps.

My guess is the FO got JJ to camp cheaply and he is the equivalent of a Jugs machine, except that he is more erratic, so the coaches get to see who can make adjustments and acrobatic catches

Hester was a really good special teamer and we always seem to have problems there. I could see him playing a role in our offense similar to what David Thomas did. Kind of a hybrid fullback/tight end.

Our special teams issues lie at a higher level than the players -except maybe the place kicker.

Lookin' at you, Greg McMahon. Regardless of Special Teams talent, Ol' Greg would screw it up. This man would screw up a BLT sandwich...make something like a Bologna-Lipstick-Turd sandwich.

Might be a good guy, but he has no business leading anything or anybody.
