The New Orleans Saints are not currently in need of a quarterback, but given the fact that Drew Brees is now 40 years old, they may find themselves wanting one soon.

So, it should not come as much of a surprise that the Saints met with Ohio State signal-caller Dwayne Haskins at the Scouting Combine on Friday, according to Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle.

Of course, this does not mean that New Orleans is going to draft a quarterback. It's not like the Saints will even have a chance at Haskins unless they trade up in the first round, either, so this is likely just due diligence on the part of New Orleans.

But it's hard not to be enticed by Haskins, who is probably the best quarterback prospect in this year's draft class.

Haskins is coming off of a season in which he threw for 4,831 yards, 50 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while completing 70 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 174.1.

Unlike Oklahoma's Kyler Murray, who is an athletic freak and is also considered a potential top draft choice, Haskins is more of a traditional quarterback, filling the pocket passer role.

The Jacksonville Jaguars also met with Haskins on Friday, which also makes plenty of sense if they strike out on Nick Foles in free agency.

Another team that will almost surely have interest in Haskins—and may very well be his most probable destination—is the New York Giants, who own the sixth overall pick in the NFL Draft this spring and are in need of a quarterback to succeed Eli Manning.
