Originally posted on A to Z Sports | By Adam Holt | Last updated 5/23/24

The New Orleans Saints offseason workouts are officially underway. Rookie camp kicked off last weekend, and OTAs began this week. Accordingly, a lot of players are around each other more often than this time last month.

The Saints' rookies went on the Steamboat Natchez tour on Wednesday. They're getting an exciting look around the city of New Orleans.

McKinstry posted about their tour on his Instagram.

Don't be surprised to see the rookies making their way around the city over these next couple of weeks. The Saints often like to treat their rookie class to some endeavors around The Big Easy early in the summer.

The Saints shared a picture of McKinstry and Fuaga on Twitter/X.

McKinstry also got a ton of reaction on social media after his first major purchase as a pro player went viral.

He promised he would help his mom once he "made it" in his career. McKinstry followed up on his guarantee.

Keep an eye out for more rookie content from the Saints. It's intriguing to see while there's not much actual football going on.
