The Saints continue to mine Canada for talent.
The team worked out CFL star wide receiver Derel Walker on Tuesday, according to a source, in hopes of getting a look at him before he's eligible to sign with a team on Jan. 4.
The Saints also tried out CFL linebackers Khalil Bass and Adam Bighill, defensive backs Tony Burnett, Otha Foster, Forrest Hightower and Anthony Gaitor, and defensive tackle Drake Nevis, who went to LSU.
Walker, who is listed at 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, caught 109 passes for 1,589 yards with 10 touchdowns for the Edmonton Eskimos last season.
A product of Texas A&M, he originally hooked on as an undrafted free agent with the Tennessee Titans in 2014 but was released prior to the start of the season.
He won the CFL's Most Outstanding Rookie Award in 2015, and was named a CFL All-Star the last two seasons.
Bass (6 feet, 224 pounds) finished with 82 tackles, two interceptions and four sacks for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He went to Portland State.
