New Orleans Saints training camp had a few firsts on Day 6: the first time in full pads outside, no downpours and less sweltering heat, the first quarterback hit, and a turnover from under center. The offense donned dark jerseys and the quarterback competition was slightly underwhelming; the same can’t be said for the defensive unit who broke up several passes and recorded three total interceptions.

In absence of a heavy aerial game, I took some time surveying a bit of the behind-the-scenes action on the sidelines and in between drills. With that, here’s what stood out to me in Wednesday’s session.
