The New Orleans Saints have signed quarterback Hunter Dekkers after a successful tryout during rookie minicamp. Following Derek Carr's retirement, the team now has four quarterbacks under 27 years of age, including rookies Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener. Dekkers came into the spotlight after losing his NCAA eligibility due to a gambling investigation; he made 366 bets over three years using a DraftKings account under his mother's name, a decision he now regrets but insists was not fueled by mal intent.
"I wasn't throwing games, I wasn't shaving points, and I would never do that. There was never any intent behind any of these bets. We weren't trying to make money. We were just treating it like a video game, in a sense."
"It was just a mistake that I made, and I have to live with it."
