WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- The last time Sean Payton considered signing 'Ballers' actor John David Washington, the price tag was much cheaper.
Washington -- who is the son of actor Denzel Washington -- tried out for the New Orleans Saints as a running back during their 2008 rookie minicamp.
Washington didn’t make the squad then. But he reunited with Payton this summer when Payton filmed a cameo scene for the HBO series.
@BallersHBO @JayD_Wash welcome to the team Ricky! You knew @SeanPayton was going to bring the NOLA love!
