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.

Undrafted from BYU, Taysom Hill signed with the Green Bay Packers, but was released after the pre-season games.  The Saints picked him up the day after, resulting in the most versatile offensive player in the modern game.

Playing mostly on Special Teams as a rookie, Hill, who played Quarterback at BYU, would be brought in occasionally and could pass, rush and receive. It was instant excitement when Hill came onto the field, as you never know what he will do.  Hill is a unique weapon whose skill set terrorizes defensive coordinators, and his mere presence drives other teams into panic. 

There is no other player in the NFL like Taysom Hill.
