During Sean Payton’s call with the Philadelphia media on Wednesday, he talked a bit about former Saints players Darren Sproles and Malcolm Jenkins, who both joined the Eagles in 2014. And, even though those guys haven’t been in New Orleans for a few years now, they both still hold a special place in the head coach’s heart — even after Jenkins gave their sideline a middle-finger salute in November.
The head coach had no shortage of compliments for Jenkins, calling him one of the most important parts of their Super Bowl run in 2009 even though he was only a rookie.
