Akeem Ayers visits the Saints
UCLA outside linebacker Akeem Ayers visited the Tennessee Titans today.

He also visited the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins this week.

It’s believed he also visited the New Orleans Saints.

as a “local tryout” and not a “scheduled visit” hence the "FWIW (for what it’s worth) I just though you might want to include the scheduled visit because I think that implies more that the club may have more interest. IMO (in my opinion)

I see what you're saying...

There is a difference. But I think that CBS link you’ve cited is inaccurately reporting what NewOrleans.com reported…http://www.sportsnola.com/sports/saints/saints-news/571154.html

I think they were tryouts only.

Dave, if we happen to draft Nevis, be sure to invite his agent to post here. That worked out quite well last go round.

Hmmm...

Noticed their are a lot more offensive rather than defensive players listed as either private workout or scheduled visit.

I've heard someone say before

that it could be that is all fluff or in case they slip to a spot where they will take them…and the guy’s they really want they might not even talk to just to throw other teams off. like a bluff in poker
