The New Orleans Saints have spent the summer telling anyone who would listen that they planned for a legitimate training camp competition at quarterback, and here it is. Their first practice session wrapped up on Thursday with Taysom Hill taking snaps on the first team offense, while Jameis Winston ran the second team.
That isn’t surprising. Hill has more experience in the system and was given the starting nod last year when Drew Brees missed time. But Winston will get his opportunities — Saints coach Sean Payton said as much in his post-practice press conference, laying out the plan for a rotation in the weeks ahead.
