After winning the Super Bowl following the 2009 season, and making the playoffs in both 2010 and 2011, last season was a bitter disappointment for the New Orleans Saints.
The year-long suspension of head coach Sean Payton led to a 7-9 record and a first time out of the playoffs in four seasons. In short, 2012 was anything but easy in the Big Easy.
Now Payton is back and the Saints will be looking to get their season off to a good start against NFC South rivals Atlanta later today in a game you can hear on WestwoodOne Sports.
Ahead of the game, our Scott Graham had a chance to speak with the Saints’ standout tight end Jimmy Graham.
