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.

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

Will Smith had a spectacular college career where at Ohio State, he was an All-American who won the BCS Championship and was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.  New Orleans landed him with their 18^thOverall Pick in 2004, and it was as a Saint where he played his entire career.

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