Ross Jackson can be petty. Apparently.

This week, we welcome back friend of the show Ross Jackson for a conversation that goes far beyond football.

From rookie minicamp to locker-room culture, Ross explains why this Saints team suddenly feels different — and why fans across New Orleans and around the world are buying back into the vision under head coach Kellen Moore.

We dive into the energy surrounding the Saints’ 2026 draft class, why players like Jordan Tyson and Tyler Shough have created genuine excitement, and how the organisation has shifted from an ageing roster searching for answers to a younger team with a clear identity and purpose.

Ross also shares incredible behind-the-scenes insight into:

* the difference in atmosphere inside the building

* why Tyler Shough “gets” New Orleans

* the Saints’ changing draft philosophy

* the rise of high-character leadership

* underrated rookie and UDFA names to watch

* and why this era simply feels more connected to the city again

There’s football analysis, plenty of laughs, some classic Saints chaos, and a reminder of why this franchise means so much to the people who love it.

In this episode:

* Why the Saints “feel different” in 2026

* Rookie minicamp standouts and early impressions

* The cultural impact of Tyler Shough

* Ross’s thoughts on the Saints’ younger roster

* Draft steals, UDFAs, and future leaders

* Why New Orleans and the Saints can never truly be separated

* Paris games, Jazz Fest, locker room vibes, and more
