When the New Orleans Saints step out for training camp on Wednesday, Tyler Shough leading a new look offense will be the biggest storylines, One of those new weapons is Jordyn Tyson, and fans have been eagerly waiting to get a look at the Saints first round pick.

Tyson is far from the only player fans need to have their eyes glued on. The Saints brought in an impressive rookie class that could make an immediate impact.

Training camp will be a proving ground for players looking to make the roster and players looking to solidify their role. It's hard to narrow down who are the most important players at Saints training camp, but these are 4 of the players fans shouldn't take their eyes off.

Jordyn Tyson will finally take the field in Saints training camp

Jordyn Tyson is one of the main attractions of Saints camp

If it isn’t Tyler Shough, Jordyn Tyson is clearly the main attraction of Saints training camp. Not only is he a top-10 selection, the suspense around him is significantly higher because media still didn’t see him in action during minicamp or OTAs. Tyson is a dynamic weapon who should regularly make highlight plays, and watching his connection with Tyler Shough grow will be one of the highlights of camp.~ Darrion Gray

Barion Brown is more than just a returner

The player that I’ll be watching the most is New Orleans Saints sixth round pick Barrion Brown. His elite speed and return ability gives him an opportunity to contribute instantly on special teams. Brown is often viewed as just a returner, but his game isn't limited to that. I’m also just as interested to see if he can make a mark in a crowded receiver room with his playmaking ability.~ Tramell Jeffers

Jonas Sanker's move to STAR

Jonas Sanker had a stellar rookie season at safety, but is transitioning to Brandon Staley’s STAR role this offseason. With this new position, he will be asked to play a hybrid between a safety, linebacker, and cornerback. As a result, growing pains will be prevalent and not every snap will be perfect. However, I’ll be closely keeping my eye on his development throughout camp.~ Drew Collings

Bigger than a family name?

Brock Rechsteiner might be the most intriguing player to me for this upcoming training camp. Obviously, his lineage is a factor in this (his dad and uncle are WWE Hall of Famers), and I’m curious to see if he can show that he is more than just the name on the back of his jersey. He’s already shown some flashes in OTAs/minicamp, and that’s enough for me to think that he actually can do just that.~ Molly Bauer
