Home is where the heart is. For Travis Etienne, Jr, he is looking forward to being back home in Louisiana. Already at the first practices of New Orleans Saints training camp, he has heard his name called out by fans."It's amazing," Etienne Jr said with a smile. "Honestly, it still really hasn't hit me yet. I feel like when I get my first touchdown in the Dome, that's when it (will) really hit me. The fans coming out and them showing love, I feel like I've got to go out there and just put my best foot forward whether it's in a practice or in a game. I'm just really honored and blessed to be here."
"I'm just focusing on being present in the moment," Etienne Jr said after three days of Saints training camp, "and understand that this is a dream come true."
His efforts on the practice field have set tongues wagging, as he makes cuts and creates space before any pads are even strapped on. Etienne Jr says his attitude is that he feels like he's starting anew.
"Just attacking it like a rookie," the Jennings native responded. "Just like being the new guy on the block, coming in and trying to earn everybody's respect. I feel like everything is earned, and it's going to be earned by the way I go out there and attack my reps."
