During the later portion of practice Sunday, nearly all New Orleans Saints players created two lines with a big gap in the middle.

In that gap, rookie center Will Clapp and rookie defensive tackle Henry Mondeaux lined up and raced against each other as well as a robotic tackling dummy.

Mondeaux, who went undrafted out of Oregon, won the race, and Clapp, a seventh-round pick from LSU followed in second. The mobile dummy brought up the rear.

"We had a little competition there, and we found is that motorized dummy doesn't move too fast on the grass," coach Sean Payton said.
