Saints defensive players came close in their rookie season in New Orleans, including Marshon Lattimore, the former College Champion at Ohio State.  The Cornerback was the Defensive Rookie of the Year and a Pro Bowler as a rookie, and while there was a touch of a sophomore slump in 2018, he went on a three-year Pro Bowl streak, giving him four in five years entering 2022.   Lattimore was hurt for most of 2022 and part of 2023 and was unable to add any accolades over those and was traded mid-season to the Washington Commanders in 2024, as the Saints slumped through the campaign.  

With the Saints, Lattimore had 15 Interceptions with 405 Tackles.

DeMario Davis began his career with the Jets, where, after four years, he signed with Cleveland only to be traded back to the Jets a year later, where he had his best season to date, resulting in a bidding war where he signed with the New Orleans Saints in 2018.

Davis remained an unheralded, yet potent interior Linebacker, and while he has only been a Pro Bowl with the Saints twice, he is on a current five-year streak where he earned All-Pro accolades (one First Team and four Second Team).  Davis kept his tackling numbers strong, continuing his run of (now seven) 100-Tackle campaigns, while being able to switch over effortlessly to pass rushing when needed.

Davis is in his mid-30s, but is playing the best football of his life.  He has 31 Sacks and 811 Tackles for New Orleans and should have a lot more left.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post-2021 revision of our top 50 Miami Dolphins.

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 not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the then-named Washington Football Team again failed to make the Playoffs.  There are no new entrants our list, but one significant jump, though it did not impact the top 40.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Sammy Baugh

2. Darrell Green

3. Chris Hanburger

4. Charley Taylor

5. Art Monk

You can find the entire list here.

The only change was Offensive Lineman, Brandon Scherff, who joined the Jacksonville Jaguars in the off-season is the only move, going to #30 from #48.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
