Jaylen Walton says he signed with Saints as an undrafted free agent

Former Ole Miss running back Jaylen Walton didn't hear his name called during the NFL Draft, but it sounds like he'll still get his shot in the NFL. Walton's tweet from Sunday afternoon suggests he's signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints.

That makes two Rebels heading to mini camp in New Orleans—safety Trae Elston, who also went undrafted, signed with the Saints in the immediate aftermath of the draft on Saturday. And hey, both guys already have experience winning in the Superdome: their first road trip as freshmen was a 39-0 win over Tulane in 2012 and they closed their college careers four years later with a beatdown of Oklahoma State in the Sugar Bowl.
