Who are five players from the New Orleans Saints to keep an eye on when they take on the Minnesota Vikings in a preseason matchup on Friday?

The Minnesota Vikings are kicking off the 2019 preseason with a game on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Friday.

Obviously, Vikings fans will be watching their beloved purple players very closely, but there are also some Saints players to keep an eye on.

New Orleans is loaded with ex-Vikings and it’s always fun to see how former players are faring with their new squads.

There are also players who Minnesota showed interest in around draft time that the Saints could cut and could potentially be available at the end of the preseason.

So let’s look at a couple of former Vikings and a few interesting young players New Orleans has brought in this year who will be worth keeping a close watch on during the game on Friday evening.
