When the New Orleans Saints report to training camp today in Jackson, it will serve as a homecoming of sorts for several players with Mississippi ties.
Running back Deuce McAllister is a Morton native who starred at Mississippi and is entering his sixth season and is the Saints all-time leading rusher with 4,529 yards and 34 TDs.
Receiver Joe Horn is a former Itawamba Community College standout and is a four-time Pro Bowl pick entering his 12th season.
Return specialist Fred McAfee is a Mississippi College alum and Philadelphia native who is entering his 16th season and has been one of the NFL’s top special teams players the past decade.
Defensive tackle McKinley Boykin is also a former Ole Miss player and is a two-time All-SEC pick. He is a rookie free agent signee who will be fighting for a roster spot in camp.
