gold star for USAHOF

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.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  We have a new one to unveil today, that of the New Orleans Saints. 

The New Orleans Saints first came to fruition in 1967, bringing the city their first major professional sports team.  The Saints were awful for their first 20 years of existence, only having two .500 years in that timeframe, and it took until 2000 for the team to record their first playoff win.

Hurricane Katrina forced the Saints to play their entire 2005 season on the road, and for a time it looked like they might relocate.  It didn’t happen, and with Quarterback, Drew Brees, they went to their first Super Bowl and won it (Super Bowl XLIV).  

The Saints have fielded many competitive teams since, but have yet to return to the Super Bowl.

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.

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

This list is updated up until the end of the 2019 Season.

The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Drew Brees

2. Rickey Jackson

3. Jahri Evans

4. Willie Roaf

5. Pat Swilling

We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.  

Look for our more material coming soon!

As always we thank you for your support.

If you had the football, the chances were pretty good that Rickey Jackson was going to find you.
