News: According to thetowntalk.com, Saints coach Sean Payton liked what he saw from Sedrick Ellis and Tracy Porter at the team’s rookie mini-camp held this past weekend. Neither player has quite adapted to the humidity and weather conditions here in Louisiana, but Payton spoke highly of both players. "When you look at Ellis, he's been a pain in the rear for a couple of days now splitting some double teams and getting in the backfield." "Porter showed some of the coverage skills we're anticipating… and has good ball skills."Who Dat Say: What is so impressive about Ellis is that he is big and strong enough to anchor in the nose, but also quick and agile enough to penetrate from the three technique. Payton played him at both positions in the recent mincamp and said he will continue to do so. Unlike former first round pick Jonathan Sullivan, Ellis also looks the part: He is not a pudgy 21-year old kid, but a beast of a man. As for Porter, we are not expecting him to have as much of an immediate impact as Ellis; but it would certainly be nice to have another corner besides Mike McKenzie who can cover and also display good ball skills.
