Jimmy Graham has said that the New Orleans Saints are still learning during their training camp.

Head coach Sean Payton is back in charge of the team, having been suspended for his part in a bounty scheme last season.

The tight end told reporters: "Well, for us, it is definitely the same mindset as it was even the first day. We install short yardage in our empty package, we are still learning and implementing on increasingly plays. It's just like the first day.

"It's been good, it's been back to normal. [Payton] is yelling at me again, making sure that I am perfect on every play. [Being] a guy who is always working on constant skill development is very important. It just makes it easier when he is there able to correct things like that.

"With the way Sean and [defensive coordinator Rob] Ryan are built, we have many, many competitive [team] periods. I would say that Sean and Ryan [are] being very competitive and challenging each other very well."

The Saints play the Oakland Raiders on Friday.
