In 1976, the New Orleans Saints drafted Running Back, Chuck Muncie, in the First Round.  With their Second Round Pick, they took another Running Back, Tony Galbreath, from the University of Missouri.

The New Orleans Saints executed patience with Jon Stinchcomb, who played only 10 Games in his first two seasons after being a 2003 Second Round Pick from Georgia.  Stinchcomb did not play at all in 2005, due to a knee injury, and it appeared that there might be a bust on their hands.  Stinchcomb would not have agreed with that assessment, and he won the starting Right Tackle job in 2006.

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.
