Moments after the New Orleans Saints drafted him, Marcus Davenport received a call from head coach Sean Payton which he couldn’t fully interpret.

As expected, the excitement from family and friends was so loud; Davenport couldn’t understand the first few seconds of Payton’s message.

“Everybody was screaming,” said Davenport. “So, I had to tell everybody to be quiet, so I couldn't hear him. But it was more like, ‘Do you want to be a Saint?’ I was just happy. I was really happy.”

After taking part in the team’s rookie minicamp earlier this month, the University of Texas at San Antonio product is happy to get back to football, following months of preparing for the NFL Draft, where the Saints gave draft picks to select him 14th overall.
