Posted Aug 7, 2017
The New Orleans Saints have added coaching intern Dré Bly, a veteran of 11 seasons and a two-time Pro Bowler. Bly has been coaching for the past couple of years at the youth and high school level, and he wanted a chance to return to the game's highest level. "I just wanted to challenge myself a little bit more, so I reached out to some of my contacts," Bly said. (New Orleans Advocate)
