The New Orleans Saints conducted private workouts with quarterbacks Bryce Petty and Garrett Grayson, according to a report by Bleacher Report's Jason Cole on Thursday.

Petty, who set passing records as he led Baylor to back-to-back Big 12 championships, has tried to prove during workouts that he's more than the product of his college team's explosive system.

Grayson, from Colorado State, has a great arm and started attracting NFL attention by finishing his college career with a huge 2014 season.

Both quarterbacks are generally ranked among the next tier of quarterbacks available after first-rounders Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota.

Most analysts expect Petty and Grayson to be drafted in the middle rounds.
Cole cited "multiple sources" in saying that the Saints "are looking to transition away from Drew Brees at some point in the next three to four years."

That's not exactly a revelation, as Brees is 36 years old. He's under contract
