Pease, everyone, just stop calling people out! :lightsabres:

Cam Jordan, the iron man, is a shoe in. DeMario has a good shot too. Maybe AK, but he was criminally underused the last two years.

Oh, and as a long shot, I'm going with Dallin Holker!

Thanks Rugby Saint. I do my best to talk only about my Saints, even though admittedly, over the last two years, it’s been mostly negative. That’s on the Saints, not me. Some others can help but talk about me. This is not about me.

I agree on Cam Jordan.

Honestly Will Smith is only on the list because he was a good but not great player who got murdered. Sam Mills should probably be on the list anyway, but his personal tragedy may also have expedited the matter, like if Wayne Martin or Pat Swilling had a similar tragedy instead they might have been inducted before Mills even though they were slightly less productive, and if Mills had some off the field issues instead of great character he might have been left off.

I think there are many players who could thus be inducted at Will Smith level if some tragedy befalls them (or if they have a great later career I guess): Davis, Mathieu, Kamara, McCoy, Olave, Lattimore, etc. Davis's play could justify it if he continues. Mathieu is a local favorite and his time at LSU and other teams could factor in.

Jimmy Graham is not 100% a current player but did play last year. He likes to fly planes and do extreme sports in the arctic and had a somewhat unexplained seizure issue walking in traffic unaware of himself. He also took some big hits that could be a risk for CTE. Graham is also very tall, and very tall people tend to have more heart issues. I think its safe to say that Graham is taking risks and has risk factors that could put him at risk of not living out his golden years unfortunately. For a number of reasons, one might expect players like Brees and Colston to outlive Graham. I think that if Graham did suffer an untimely and possibly dramatic death due to accident or illness along these lines, he would almost certainly be inducted like Will Smith.

With respect... Cam Jordan gets my vote.

Re: Which CURRENT Saints players do you think have a chance to be inducted into the team's Ring of Honor after they retire?
 

Lattimore I would have to agree.

Ramcyzk. You're probably right. His % of snaps played is incredible. Between 95-100% each season.

Of his 6,500 snaps played, only 22 called penalties. Dang.

AK was criminally underused... I see what you did there. Freudian slip? ;)
