The New Orleans Saints had two of their Hall of Famers at Sunday’s game as Rickey Jackson and Morten Andersen made the trip to Raymond James Stadium.

Jackson’s presence was a good sign that he’s recovering well after undergoing surgery to remove a subdural hematoma in his head on Nov. 28, less than two weeks ago.

“I’m feeling great,” Jackson said Sunday before the Saints’ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “I’ll be all right.”

Andersen and Jackson were at the game, sporting their gold jackets, as part of some sponsorship deal with the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, and before the game, the two Hall of Famers spoke glowingly about the 2018 Saints.

“They certainly have the talent to go all the way,” Andersen said.

Jackson even went a step further.

“I think this is the best team they’ve had,” Jackson said. “They’re doing good, they’re playing good and all of them are young and fast.”

Jackson mentioned wide receiver Michael Thomas as someone who’s stood out this season, and Andersen noted running back Alvin Kamara. Then, Jackson called quarterback Drew Brees “the best in the world.”



“I just think the speed at the skill positions is evident, and any time you got speed at the wideout position, at the running back position, even on defense we’re flying to the ball, you got something special,” Andersen said.
