There’s a few assorted football-related news items I wanted to pass along this morning, as Georgia Tech’s fall camp gets kicked off today.
Recently-graduated defensive back and kick returner Jamal Golden was passed up in the NFL Draft a few months back, and only received an invite to minicamp with the Falcons afterwards. On Wednesday, he was signed by the New Orleans Saints, where he’ll compete in their fall camp. Golden may find a spot fitting in as a backup in the Saints’ defensive backfield, or as a kick return specialist (where the Saints lack any obvious starter headed into 2016).
