Saints among teams planning private workout with Baker Mayfield

The New Orleans Saints had a formal interview with former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield at the NFL combine last week, but the team is apparently hoping to learn more about Mayfield as the draft process continued.

According to a Sports Illustrated story detailing Mayfield's combine experience, the Saints are among a group of teams planning a private workout with Mayfield in Norman, Okla., at some point after the Sooners' pro day next Wednesday.

The Browns, Jets, Dolphins are making similar plans with Mayfield, per the report.

The Saints typically interview all of the top quarterbacks at the combine, but a private workout would be indication of legitimate interest in Mayfield, the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner. Most draft projections have Mayfield off the board before the Saints' first pick at No. 27, but if he falls, perhaps the Saints think he'd be a candidate to succeed Drew Brees.
