Who is a former Saints player that you want fans of other teams to know about?

I plan to do a show called "The Hall of Very Good" which will include a team by team pick of "Who You Should Know About"

Good choice, D_it_up. From that same era, I'd say Hobby Brenner. When I think of Saints tight ends, that's always who I think of first.

And then, Dalton Hilliard. He was overshadowed by Ruben Mayes early on in his career, and Injuries later, and he still held the Saints record for touchdowns for more than a decade until Deuce broke that one.

Thanks, 21. I loved that guy. He wasn't the flashiest or the fastest, but that guy could catch the kitchen sink if the ball was thrown in his direction. He was a really underrated as a receiver and still ranks as my favorite wideout the Saints have ever had.

And tough too. Many of his catches ended up going across the middle.
