Nick Fairley was all smiles the other day, talking about his new team, the New Orleans Saints, the new baby daughter he had this summer, and the belief that he is playing the best football of his career at age 28.
"I feel great. I’m at a good place in my life," said the athletic defensive tackle, who grew up rooting for the Saints just a couple hours down the road in Mobile, Alabama -- which played a role in his decision to sign there.
"I feel like I’m back home, I’ll say that," Fairley said.
