Saints’ top pick joins camp
JACKSON, Miss. — Saints first-round pick Sedrick Ellis took a healthy amount of ribbing from his teammates on the defensive line as he arrived for training camp.
Ellis gave it right back to them as he practiced for the first time since signing his five-year contract earlier in the day.
“They were giving me a little of tough love there, but some of those other defensive line guys aren’t too underpaid themselves,” Ellis said.
The Times-Picayune said Ellis’ contract is worth $49 million, with $19.5 million in guarantees.
