Friday Night Lights
When the Saints take to the field on Friday night for their first preseason game of the season it will be the culmination of a dream for handfuls of rookie and first year players.
In the words of rookie free agent defensive back Reggie Jones, “Friday night is something I have thought about doing and set my goals to accomplish since I first started playing football when I was just a little kid.”
Jones, from Portland State and a native of Federal Way, Washington, said that Friday’s game is the biggest game of his life. “It’s been a lot of hard work to get to the pros, it’s been hard work during the off-season and training camp is a challenge pretty much every single minute you are awake. Now, with a game a few days away, you start to think about them taking the nametag on my helmet off and putting the Fleur-de-Lis on there. That will be special.”
