Top 50 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.


This list is up to the end of the 2020 season.

Note: Football lists are based on an amalgamation of tenure, traditional statistics, advanced statistics, playoff statistics, and post-season accolades.

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…

Jermon Bushrod only appeared in three Games in his first two years after he was drafted in 2007, and if you were not a diehard Saints fan, you probably had no idea that he existed.  This changed in 2009 after Jamaal Brown was injured, and the former star from Towson now had a home at Left Tackle.
