Saints training camp preview: Five players on the roster bubble

NICK UNDERHILL

The New Orleans Saints spent the offseason retooling their roster and finding ways to create better competition across the board.

The idea behind the process was to make players feel uncomfortable and create an atmosphere where players are fighting for every opportunity, snap or job.

While this approach isn’t unique to this season, the level of competition at some spots is better than it might have been in previous years. Several key spots will see players battling for jobs at the top of the roster, while a handful of other guys will be fighting at the other end to stay on the team.

We’ll count down some of the other aspects to watch for during training camp over the next week, but today we start with a batch of players who will head to West Virginia on the roster bubble:

WR Josh Morgan...

FB Austin Johnson...

QB Ryan Griffin...

KR Jalen Saunders...

CBs Brian Dixon and Terrence Frederick...

Don't understand Austin Johnson being on this list; thought he's outplayed Lorig, has a friendlier cap number and is a better special teams contributor having also played linebacker...
