“I played four years with the Chiefs, and those were great,” he said, “but I’m from Arkansas … I went to Louisiana Tech … I grew up in Louisiana basically. My history goes more with the Saints than the Chiefs, but believe me, my Chiefs days were very, very special to me, and I will cherish those.”

Three you forgot Drew

No he's still right, only 2. Rickey and Willie sure Drew will get in but those 2 are the only one's drafted by the Saints.

If you count played for Saints then add Horning, Taylor, Atkins, Shram, Campbell, Stabler, Finks and Drew when he gets there

I met him during his USO tour of Iraq. He talks proudly of his time as a Saint, and is an all around good guy.

Willie deserves the hall of fame. Congrats!

The best LT to ever play...size, strength, agility, the man was a monster. I watched him bench press over 500lbs once. Made it look easy.

This guy was fantastic. Always liked him.

I don't know why but William Layton Roaf reminded me of Dr. Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy. i.e. the Beast of the X-Men.
