National Football Conference · NFC South · 1 Super Bowl (2009)
The New Orleans Saints were founded in 1966 in New Orleans, Louisiana, where they continue to play home games at Caesars Superdome. The franchise is owned by Gayle Benson, with Mickey Loomis serving as general manager and Kellen Moore as head coach. The club's headquarters are located in Metairie, Louisiana. The Saints claimed their lone Super Bowl championship in 2009, capping a 13–3 season. That victory launched a sustained run of success: from 2017 through 2020, New Orleans posted four consecutive playoff appearances with records of 11–5, 13–3, 13–3, and 12–4. The years since have been leaner, with the team finishing 9–8 in 2021, 7–10 in 2022, 9–8 in 2023, 5–12 in 2024, and 6–11 in 2025. The current roster features running backs Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara, receiver Chris Olave, tight ends Noah Fant and Juwan Johnson, and defensive standouts including Kool-Aid McKinstry, Justin Reid, Chase Young, and Kaden Elliss.

“I think that he's a guy that's got a real shot to go from being a practice squad player last year to potentially being somebody to make the 53 man roster this year. He would probably be my dark horse right now.”

“the Saints pick a couple of picks later also in the fourth round... We went Ted Hurst.”
“And if you don't if you're somebody that's like, hey. He's an LSU player, there's no way that the Saints pick him... that's kind of what we did here with Ted Hurst and Aaron Anderson.”
“Aaron Anderson is around. Pick them. Pick them. I I I like it. Let's do it.”
“I'd say we round it out with one more senior bowl guy. Sixth round pick, Bryce Boacher.”
“If Ted Hurst is still there, I'd really consider it... We went Ted Hurst.”
“I I'm all about Bryce Boettcher. That dude plays mean and has really, really good athleticism.”
“so we are here round, round five... Aaron Anderson is around. Pick them.”
“Jonas Sanker earned himself a starting role. He'll probably hold on that starting role going into 2026.”
