NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - It was a rainy day drive across the world’s longest bridge when Jalen McCleskey got the call from the Saints he had been waiting for.
“As I was driving on the Causeway, they actually called me and said we want to sign you,” McCleskey said. “We’re going to send you over all the stuff, things like that and I actually called my dad immediately.”
