METAIRIE, La. -- When the New Orleans Saints visited Fort Collins, Colorado, to hold a private workout with quarterback Garrett Grayson just three days before the draft, they also wanted to do a little film study with him. So they cued up his game at Boston College from last September.

That one game essentially told the entire story of Grayson's turbulent but resilient career at Colorado State.

Really looking forward to see this kid in action come preseason...

Still really like Ryan Griffin, but starting to see why Payton made this pick...

With Payton's 1-2-3(4-5), that's exactly what we need.
Stand in there, read and throw.
Throw away is OK.
