Some of the most exciting times of training camp are goal line periods.

The Saints offense against the defense with 10 or less yards from the endzone brings some of the best battles and banter out of the black and gold.

The Saints ranked ninth in the NFL last season in goal-to-go touchdown efficiency (74.2) and 14th in opponent goal-to-go touchdown efficiency.

Jimmy Graham tied Dez Bryant and Wes Welker for the NFL's most goal-to-go touchdowns (7) last season.
