Joe Federspiel was with the New Orleans Saints for all but his final year (he was with the Baltimore Colts), where he played his entire career (1972-80).

Chuck Muncie was the highest drafted Running Back in 1976 (3^rdOverall), and he would become part of the Thunder/Lightning team with Tony Galbreath, and he would be named to the All-Rookie Team.

Charles Grant played all of his NFL Games with the New Orleans Saints, the team that chose him in the First Round of the 2002 Draft.

In 1980, the Green Bay Packers used the fourth overall pick in the draft to take Penn State's, Bruce Clark.  To the shock of everyone, Clark did not sign with Green Bay, who planned to the Defensive End to Nose Tackle and elected to go to the Canadian Football League with the Toronto Argonauts.

John Hill was a New York Giant for the first three years of his career, but he joined the New Orleans Saints in 1975, and that would be the team he played for over the next ten seasons. 

Frank Warren played his entire pro career with the New Orleans Saints (1981-94), where he appeared in 11 Games shy of 200

You were born to play for the New Orleans Saints when you have a name like Bobby Hebert, and you come from a town called Cut Off in the state of Louisiana.

Derland Moore was a walk-on at Oklahoma, and he went from unrecruited to a Second Round Pick.  It was the New Orleans Saints who chose him, and they held on to the defensive player for well over a decade.

Tom Myers played all ten of his seasons of his NFL career with the New Orleans Saints (1972-81), where he started predominantly at Free Safety.

How fitting was it that Dalton Hilliard spent his entire professional career with the New Orleans Saints?

Carl Nicks was only with the New Orleans Saints for four seasons, but he was arguably the best Offensive Lineman on the team.

 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.

In terms of value, you can argue that one of the best Draft Picks that the New Orleans made in the 21^stCentury was Zach Strief, their Seventh Round Pick from Northwestern.

Terron Armstead only played six games as a rookie (2013) for the New Orleans Saints, but the product of Arkansas-Pine Bluff did not have to wait long to see himself as a starter. 

Xavier University wasn’t known for its football players, and even if you were the all-time school record holder in Receiving Yards, it does not get you a lot of attention.  Perhaps, that is why Danny Abramowicz, who held those honors as a Musketeer, went only in the 17^thRound in 1967.

Joe Johnson was an All-Rookie for the Saints in 1994, after New Orleans took him 13^thOverall in the NFL Draft after a great career at Louisville

La’Roi Glover had a less-than-spectacular start in pro football.  The Oakland Raiders selected him in the Fifth Round in 1996, but the San Diego Aztec only played two games as a rookie.  He then played for the Barcelona Dragons in the World League, winning the World Bowl, but he was placed on waivers by the Raiders in the following training camp. The Saints swooped in, and the rest of the story begins.

Roman Harper is one of the longest tenured Defensive Backs in the history of the New Orleans Saints, doing so in a period that highlighted offense well above defense

A Consensus All-American at Virginia, Jim Dombrowski was the product of New Orleans’ Sixth Overall Pick in the 1986 Draft.

One of the forgotten Quarterbacks in Saints history is Aaron Brooks, which is a shame considering he was a talented player who, for a few seasons, was on the cusp of being a Pro Bowler.
