Randy Gregory's pre-draft visit to New Orleans sparked some interesting tweets
Pass-rushing prospect Randy Gregory, in New Orleans for a pre-draft visit with the Saints on Tuesday, isn't shy about letting the world know what's going through his mind as he participates in what is essentially a high-stakes job interview.
First, Gregory came under fire from fans in New Orleans after calling out the famously raucous city for failing to live up to his expectations.
Idk what the big deal about new Orleans is. Seems pretty boring to me lol wrong time of year maybe??

Gregory later clarified that he doesn't think the Saints are boring, just the city they play in.
Since twitter turns things into something its not...my last tweet was not directed towards the team in anyway. SORRY FOLKS.

Not everyone was willing to forgive Gregory. Inevitably, some fans took shots at him for the drug test he reportedly failed at the scouting combine.

The banter between Gregory and fans continued, with the former showing a sense of humor by taking a good-natured shot at the state where he attended college.

To further appease Saints fans, Gregory started the hashtag #reasonswhyilovenola.
