Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 New Orleans Saints.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Saints had a winning record (9-8) but were unable to make the playoffs.  The veteran team had one new entrant and multiple elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw a change:

1. Drew Brees
2. Jahri Evans
3. Rickey Jackson
4. Cameron Jordan
5. Willie Roaf

You can find the entire list here.

Jordan overtook Roaf for the #4 spot.

Running Back Alvin Kamara had a solid year but was unable to move ahead of his #8 rank.

Wide Receiver Michael Thomas moved up only one spot to #11.

Linebacker DeMario Davis had a huge jump, going from #33 to #15.

Right Tackle Ryan Ramczyk climbed to #26 from #34.

Cornerback Marshon Lattimore went up five spots to #37.

Left Guard Andrus Peat, now with Las Vegas, went up one spot to #40.

The lone new entry is Taysom Hill.  He debuts at #45.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 New Orleans Saints.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:

1. Advanced Statistics.

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Saints were unable to make the NFL playoffs, but there was more activity on this list than any of other NFL franchises that we revised this summer.

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Drew Brees

2. Jahri Evans

3. Rickey Jackson

4. Willie Roaf

5. Cameron Jordan

You can find the entire list here.

The Top Five did not change, but should it have? We seriously considered propelling Jordan over Roaf for the four hole, and if he has another Pro Bowl caliber year, it will be difficult to not pull the trigger in 2024.

Running Back, Alvin Kamara, continues his upward climb, inching up one spot to #8. The six-year veteran missed the Pro Bowl for the first-time last year and enters 2023 with 8,888 Yards From Scrimmage.

Another Running Back, Mark Ingram, also went up by one spot, and is at #21. He is New Orleans’ all-time leading rusher, but retired in the off-season.

Linebacker, DeMario Davis, advances to #33 from #40. Last year, he became an AP All-Pro for the fourth straight year,

Right behind Davis, is Right Tackle, Ryan Ramczyk. He went up two to #34.

It is notable that active Saints, Offensive Guard, Andrus Peat and Cornerback, Marshon Lattimore, remained in their ranks at #41 and #42 respectively.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our pre-2021 revision of our top 50 New Orleans Saints Team of all-time.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NFL. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

This is our first revision after our inaugural unveiling, only one new entry.

There are two new additions to our top fifty, and a couple of significant climbs.  As always, we present our top five here.

1. Drew Brees

2. JahrI Evans

3. Rickey Jackson

4. Willie Roaf

5. Pat Swilling

You can find the entire list here.

Running Back, Alvin Kamara, rocketed up from #30 to #20.  

Offensive Lineman, Terron Armstead climbed from #38 to #35.

The two new entries are both new, and both likely should have been included last year in our first Top 50 list.

Right Tackle, Ryan Ramczyk, enters the list at #37.

Left Guard, Andrus Peat, makes his first appearance at #40.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

 Alvin Kamara was at one time the best dual threat Running Back in football, and might be the most dynamic offensiveweapon in frranchise history.

Saints Head Coach, Sean Payton, gushed to anyone who would listen as to how much he loved Kamara in his rookie training camp.  Sure enough, the former Tennessee Volunteer had 1,554 Yards from Scrimmage, 13 Touchdowns, and was a Second Team All-Pro, a Pro Bowl, and was the Offensive Rookie of the Year.  Kamara followed that up with an even better year with 1,592 YFS with 18 Touchdowns, and a second Pro Bowl.  Kamara again was a Pro Bowler in 2019, this time with 1,330 YFS, and in 2020, Kamara went four-for-four in Pro Bowls, and led the NFL in Touchdowns (21).  Kamara did it again in 2021, gaining a fifth Pro Bowl, though it was the first time he did not break 1,400 Yards From Scrimmage.  Kamara. who had a share of off-field issues leading into 2022, was still a superstar, was not named to the Pro Bowl, though in that campaign he amassed well over 1,300 YFS.

Kamara's skills can not be questioned, and his offenisve accumen is among one of the best New Orlans has ever seen.  He remians with the Saints entering 2024, and he currently boasts over 10,000 YFS with 77 Touchdowns.

2023 Pre-Season #28, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #33, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #48, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #66.  Peak Period: 2017-21

Alvin Kamara has never had a 1,000-Yard Rushing Season, but the Saints Running Back has been one of the most complete dual-threat Running Backs since he debuted in 2017.

Named to the Pro Bowl in his first five seasons, Kamara won the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year and was the league leader in Touchdowns (21) in 2020.  He might be slowing down, and if so, his Hall of Fame chances will plummet, but as we enter 2024, Kamara is one of New Orleans’s top offensive weapons.

What he accomplishes in 2024 could tell the tale of his Hall of Fame chances.
