New Orleans Saints Experience at GSS

The New Orleans Saints and Hancock Whitney partnered with GSS to bring the “Saints Play Football Experience” to nearly 170 students this morning.  By participating in drills, obstacle courses, and clinics with Saints wide receiver Travin Dural, mascot Sir Saint, members of the Saints organization and staff, students learned tactics to help them hone their football talents and learn motivating life-lessons about the importance of good education, goal-setting, physical fitness, self-discipline, and teamwork.
