The New Orleans Saints' Travis Etienne clarified espn.com the correct pronunciation of his last name, noting that fans and broadcasters have been saying it incorrectly for years. The running back, who joined the Saints this offseason, emphasized that his family name should be pronounced "ET-ee-en" rather than the commonly used "ET-ee-EN." Etienne, a former first-round pick from Clemson, is expected to compete for playing time in New Orleans' backfield alongside fellow backs.
