The New Orleans Saints were spotted scouting Florida State’s matchup with Clemson this week, per ESPN’s Jordan Reid, who listed them among 11 NFL teams in attendance for Saturday’s game. They’ve spent a lot of time around both programs recently — Saints assistant general manager Jeff Ireland visited FSU’s campus two weeks ago, and of course the team’s top rookie draft pick Bryan Bresee comes from Clemson.
It makes sense to give the prospects in this game the attention they’re due. Florida State’s Jared Verse is one of the most exciting pass rushers eligible for the 2024 draft class, and his teammate Keon Coleman is making an argument to be picked in the first round at wide receiver. Coleman lined up often against Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins, one of several first-round defensive prospects for the Tigers along with linebackers Barrett Carter and Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
