The novel coronavirus has hit the city of New Orleans hard, affecting Saints coach Sean Payton in particular. While he overcame his experience with COVID-19, Payton has used his experience to raise awareness of the coronavirus to try and help and educate others. He’s also used it to inform his own decision-making as the leader of his football team.
On Tuesday, ESPN’s Dianna Russini reported that Payton held a team-wide teleconference call over Zoom, breaking the news to his players that the Saints would not be organizing an offseason program ahead of training camp.
