Thirteen Ragin’ Cajun Alums To Take Part in NFL Preseason
NFL training camps got underway in the last week of July, with every team welcoming 90 players attempting to earn one of the coveted 53 spots on the active roster when the regular season kicks off in September.
For some, the roster spot is secured, and training camp is more about preparing for the season.
For others, training camp is their opportunity to earn a roster spot and carve out a permanent role for the upcoming year.
