Former Tulane running back Tyjae Spears may have put himself on the map for many with his 4-touchdown performance in the Green Wave’s 2023 Cotton Bowl win over the USC Trojans, but as a New Orleans native, he’s been endeared by fans in New Orleans for quite some time. That is not exclusive to the fanbase either. When Saints vice president and assistant general manager of college personnel Jeff Ireland spoke with media at the Senior Bowl, he said that he personally attended two of Spears’ games in the 2022 season.While the Saints are keeping an eye on the Ponchatoula, La. native, Spears has his eye right back on them.
