New Orleans Saints safety Jairus Byrd visited students at Harahan Elementary after surprising them during a special assembly on Wednesday afternoon. Byrd was on hand to talk to third through fifth graders about the importance of reading as part of Rotolo's Literacy Program Visit series.
He also participated in a question and answer session, answering queries from the kids like "What is your favorite color?" (green), "Where did you go to school?" (Oregon) and "Do you have family in New Orleans?" (distant relatives). As he left, he was mobbed with hugs and high fives from a sea of small Who Dats.
