New Orleans Saints taking on advanced diet as minicamp commences


FAN THE FLAMES: Moore was impressed by the fan turnout and reception Tuesday. “The fan aspect of this was awesome, and it is really cool,” he said of the capacity crowd. “It’s impressive to see that on a Tuesday in the middle of June, it shows how special this place is.”

TRYOUT: One of the tryout players during minicamp is running back Cam Akers, a second-round pick in 2020 who has played for three teams in five seasons and started 17 of 53 games. Akers has rushed for 2,025 yards and 13 touchdowns on 502 carries, and totaled career highs in attempts (188), yards (726) and touchdowns (seven) for the Rams in 2022.

“Cam’s an experienced player, he’s done a lot throughout this league and as you go through this, you’re always trying to evaluate as many players as you possibly can,” Moore said.

TAYSOM SIGHTING: Tight end Taysom Hill did not participate in drills Tuesday, but he was present. Hill continues rehabilitation from a knee injury last season.

“Taysom’s done an excellent job,” Moore said. “It’s a challenging offseason for him just from a medical standpoint, and he’s done everything you could possibly do just to put yourself in good position to be successful moving forward. And so, fired up to see him out here.”
