Former Saints running back Darren Sproles has been preparing for the upcoming season with a little help from some former teammates. He can been seen catching passes from Drew Brees and Chase Daniel as the 36 year old looks like he isn’t ready to hang up his cleats yet.

June 27, 2019 Sproles previously claimed that last season was going to be his last, but was sidelined for 10 games due to a hamstring injury. Upon his return to the Philadelphia Eagles lineup in Week 13, he was able to put up 120 rushing yards, 160 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
The Saints could use another pass catching option in the backfield behind Alvin Kamara. Sproles played in New Orleans from 2011-2013 and is currently sixth on the NFL’s all-time all-purpose yards list.
Lightning speed. Unreal strength.Happy Birthday to Mr. All-Purpose @DarrenSproles -- https://t.co/4xZfbwsUMi
