Justin Herbert wasn’t a realistic option for the New Orleans Saints in the 2020 NFL Draft, but that didn’t stop them from doing their homework on the Oregon Ducks quarterback prospect and eventual No. 6 overall draft pick.
The Saints scouted Herbert at a few live games during his college career, and Saints coach Sean Payton still recalls being impressed with what the eventual Los Angeles Chargers starter had to say.
“I remember him very well. I remember the interview process,” Payton said during a recent media conference call.
