Dan Roushar updates battle for Saints starting job at center

The New Orleans Saints wrapped up their final minicamp practices last week, and offensive line coach Dan Roushar left feeling impressed by the early returns from a tough competition to replace Max Unger at center.

Between a top draft pick in Erik McCoy, a third-year backup in Cameron Tom, and a free agent signing in Nick Easton, the Saints have plenty of options to fill in for the perennial Pro Bowler. And while it’s early, Roushar had a lot to say about the progress McCoy has made in his first few weeks on the job.

“I think it’s going pretty well,” Roushar said following a June 13 practice session.
