OXNARD, Calif. – When the New Orleans Saints’ defence stayed on top of Darren Sproles a bit too long during a practice drill on Thursday, most of the offence jumped in to rescue the new running back, setting off a brief scuffle on an otherwise peaceful California afternoon. Safety Malcolm Jenkins even grabbed hold of tight end Jimmy Graham’s facemask before everybody calmed down.
The Saints have a clear interest in keeping the durable Sproles healthy. They’re counting on the undersized speedster to help carry them past the departure of Reggie Bush and on to bigger achievements – and that’s exactly why Sproles chose the Saints in free agency.
