METAIRIE, La. – The New Orleans Saints are signing former No. 7 overall pick Kevin White after trying out a handful of notable players after Tuesday’s practice, according to an NFL Network report.
White’s career has been marred by injury. He missed all of his 2015 rookie season and has never appeared in more than nine games in a single season. His career high in catches is 19, which he established in four games during the 2016 season.
He is one of a number of recognizable names the Saints hosted on a tryout.
Former LSU and John Curtis standout Malachi Dupre was among them. The Green Bay Packers selected Dupre in the seventh round of the 2017 draft. He did not make the team after sustaining a scary injury in a preseason game, and has since bounced around with the Bills, Texans, Seahawks, Cardinals and Chargers, mostly on the practice squad.
The Saints also worked out Bennie Fowler, who caught two passes in five games with the team last season, and former Jets second-round pick Devin Smith.
