In Episode 21 of The Mark Romig Show, we go on location for a special behind-the-scenes episode at the 2026 New Orleans Saints Media Day, where the Saints organization creates much of the content fans will see throughout the season, from player videos shown inside the Caesars Superdome to footage used by television partners and digital platforms.
Nearly 90 Saints players rotated through 17 production stations during Media Day, and The Mark Romig Show was invited inside for exclusive conversations with several members of the Black and Gold as the team prepares for training camp and the upcoming NFL season.
This episode features interviews with Travis Etienne, David Edwards, Ja’Lynn Polk, Kaden Elliss, Jonas Sanker, and Jamie Meeks, the Director of Sports Nutrition for the New Orleans Saints. Together, they give fans an inside look at the energy surrounding the team, the excitement building in the locker room, the impact of the Saints’ world-class facilities, and what it means to play football in one of the most passionate sports cities in America.
Mark begins with Travis Etienne, who talks about his national championship experience at Clemson, the hunger he feels inside the Saints locker room, preparing for the heat of training camp in New Orleans, and why he plans to stay local this summer to train at the Saints facility. Travis also shares his love for seafood gumbo, red beans, Parkway Bakery, and life as a father to his son, Saint.
Next, veteran offensive lineman David Edwards joins the show to discuss why he and his family chose New Orleans in free agency, how he evaluated the Saints organization, and why he believes the team’s facilities, food, staff, and culture are among the best he has experienced in the NFL. David also talks about moving his locker next to the quarterbacks, building real relationships inside the locker room, raising a family in New Orleans, and what he hopes Saints fans see from the team this season.
Wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk talks about playing in the Caesars Superdome during his college career, the energy of Saints fans, building chemistry with quarterback Tyler Shough, and why camaraderie and competition will matter as the team heads into training camp. He also shares his love for fresh Louisiana redfish, fishing charters, bowfishing, and the strong relationships he has already found in Louisiana.
Linebacker Kaden Elliss returns to New Orleans and reflects on what it means to be back in the Black and Gold. Kaden talks about his time with the Saints, his years in Atlanta, what he learned as a leader, and why returning to New Orleans felt so special for him and his family. He also shares his thoughts on Tyler Shough’s growth, the authentic belief inside the Saints locker room, his hopes for the season, and his love for New Orleans bread pudding.
Defensive back Jonas Sanker joins Mark to talk about entering his second NFL season, what he learned as a rookie, the passion of Saints fans, and the importance of giving back through community events such as the 18th Ward. Jonas also talks about taking family members fishing, exploring New Orleans, experiencing the French Quarter, and what it felt like to step onto the field inside the Caesars Superdome for the first time.
The episode also features Jamie Meeks, Director of Sports Nutrition for the New Orleans Saints, who gives viewers a fascinating look at what it takes to fuel an NFL roster. Jamie explains how players of different sizes and positions eat, and how the Saints track weight, body composition, blood work, recovery, and overall wellness. She also shares the role Louisiana food plays inside the facility, including red beans and rice, gumbo, catfish, jambalaya, crawfish traditions, and, of course, her favorite fried shrimp po-boy.
Episode 21 is a celebration of the New Orleans Saints, the city they represent, the food and culture that surround them, and the people working behind the scenes to help the team succeed.
