COSTA MESA -- The first day of joint practices between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers provided a ton of entertainment. Both teams had eventful 1-on-1 drills for their offenses, wide receivers Michael Thomas and Chris Olave showed out, as did Chargers wideout Keenan Allen. There were takeaways, missed field goals and pressure galore. Now, headed into Day 2, both teams have a chance to review the tape from Thursday in the hopes of  even stronger performances on Friday. Here are some Saints players to keep an eye on:

WR Chris Olave

The second-year receiver has been impressive all camp and has continued to build on the excitement that surrounds him so far this week. Whether it is embarrassing defenders in 1-on-1s or pulling down big catches, Olave has not failed to deliver. Watching him during the second day of joint practices will do more than provide entertainment, but taking it in for the fun of it certainly is not a bad call.

CB Paulson Adebo

Adebo and his competition, Alontae Taylor, had solid days in the first day of practices with Los Angeles.However, Taylor did show up a bit more in team drills. As Taylor continues to impress, Adebo has to deliver as well. He will be back across from Lattimore on Friday, working with the first team. A perfect opportunity to keep his lead for his role.

WR Kawaan Baker

Baker had a huge day on Thursday, the best and biggest practice of his career it seems. But honestly, you will not be able to just watch Baker. You will want to keep eyes on his competition as well. Rookie wide receivers A.T. Perry and Shaq Davis to be exact. The trio is among the group of veterans vying for roster spots and positioning. Baker entering the chat with strong performances only further shakes things up.
