Lott, who played cornerback and safety in his 15-year Hall of Fame career spent mostly with the San Francisco 49ers, is now a successful businessman in northern California.Of course, the Saints did pick that up and print it on T-Shirts. It's still unclear to me who was responsible for that.
He met with the Saints this summer when they traveled to play Oakland in the preseason and spent some one-on-one time with (Saints safety Darren) Sharper, offering pep talks that resonated with the veteran.
Lott provided one of the Saints' motivational slogans for this year: "Smell Greatness." And Sharper said Lott encouraged him to enjoy every practice and every game as if he were a rookie all over again.
"What I remember from that talk is that sometimes you don't see the greatness that other people see in you, " Lott said. "I think Darren Sharper has greatness written all over him. You can see it. You can smell it.
