THE MATCHUP.

The Saints (1-1) will continue their three-game leg away from the Caesars Superdome to start the season when they hit leg three with a matchup at the Patriots (1-1) at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. on Sunday. Both 1-1 teams will be looking to exit the month of September and enter the month of October on the plus side.

The two teams, who feature the highest (Patriots) and fourth-highest (Saints) win totals in the NFL since 2006 enter Sunday’s interconference matchup after having faced rugged division foes on the road. New Orleans will be looking to make corrections from a 26-7 loss at the Car-olina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium, while the Pa-triots handled the New York Jets 25-6 at MetLife Stadium.

The Saints and the Patriots have met 14 times with New England holding a 10-4 lead. New Orleans will be looking to break a two-game losing streak against New England and capture their first road win in Foxboro since 1995.

The New Orleans offense will go back to the drawing board and make corrections off a performance that saw them struggle on early downs and third down efficiency, forcing them into unfavorable situations and limited pro-duction. They will look to strive to return to the efficiency

they displayed in their season-opening win vs. Green Bay, where they produced 22 first downs, rushed for 171 yards and did not turn the ball over.

While the New Orleans defense hung tough on Sunday against a balanced Panthers offense, an emphasis will be placed as well on getting their opponents off the field at the start of the contest and cleaning up certain penalties and situational issues that plagued them. Rookie DE Payton Turner made his NFL debut and posted five tackles, one sack, three stops for loss and one quarterback hit.

The New Orleans special teams will face a stiff chal-lenge on Sunday against New England, a team known for equally strong, opportunistic units. Through two games, new contributors in P Blake Gillikin and RB Ty Montgom-ery have contributed to the units alongside longtime contributors such as DB J.T. Gray, WR/RB Deonte Harris, QB Taysom Hill and RB Dwayne Washington.

THIS WEEK IN THE NFC SOUTH: The Carolina Pan-thers (2-0) will travel to Texas to face Houston (1-1) on Thursday Night Football, the Atlanta Falcons (0-2) will play at the New York Giants (0-2) on Sunday at noon CT and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) will play at the Los An-geles Rams (2-0) at 3:25 CT as all four NFC South teams have road matchups.

THE HEAD COACHES

Sean Payton has posted a 153-90 overall record (.630), including a 9-8 postseason mark after the franchise had won only one playoff game prior to his arrival in 2006. Pay-ton holds the club’s top victory total and winning percent-age. Payton is tied for 23rd all-time in NFL records in victo-ries, fifth among active coaches. He continues to represent the Saints as the model of stability not only within the NFC South, as he is the longest tenured head coach within the division, but also among the most accomplished within the NFL. Only Bill Belichick (2000) has been with the his team longer than Payton’s 15 seasons. Payton is also one of just nine active NFL head coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory.

The others are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Bruce Arians, Belichick, the Seattle Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Las Ve-gas Raiders’ Jon Gruden (Buccaneers in 2002), the Balti-more Ravens’ John Harbaugh, the Dallas Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy (Green Bay in 2010), Kansas City’s Andy Reid and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin. The 2020 Saints were only the sixth team in NFL history to have six-game winning streaks in four consecutive seasons and with a nine-game winning streak had won at least nine straight games in two of the past three seasons and had double-digit victory figures and consecutive playoff berths in four straight years for the first time in team history, also being only the third NFC team since divisional alignment to cap-ture four straight division championships. The Black and Gold qualified for the NFL playoffs for the ninth season (2006, 2009-11, 2013, 2017-20) in Payton’s head coaching tenure). Payton earned a degree in communications at Eastern Illinois, where as a quarterback he had 10,665 passing yards, at the time the third-highest total in NCAA Division I-AA history. Payton was inducted into the Eastern Illinois Hall of Fame in 2000 and had his jersey retired in a ceremony in 2010. He received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater in 2013. Payton was born Dec. 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and raised in Naperville, Ill., Payton has a daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.

Bill Belichick is in his 47th season as an NFL coach and his 22nd season as head coach of the Patriots. Belichick led the Patriots to 19 consecutive winning seasons (2001-19). The only other NFL coach to have at least 10 consecu-tive winning seasons with one team since the 1970 merger was Tom Landry, who led the Cowboys to 16 consecutive winning seasons (1970-1985). Through 21 seasons with New England, Belichick has delivered six Super Bowl championships, nine conference titles, 17 division crowns and 30 playoff wins, while posting an overall record of 274-103. Belichick won his sixth Super Bowl title as a head coach in 2018 with the Patriots’ 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. He joined George Halas and Curly Lam-beau as the only coaches with six NFL Championships and owns the record for the most Super Bowl titles, two ahead of Pittsburgh’s Chuck Noll. Belichick is the only of those five to win three titles in a four-year span with Super Bowl wins in 2001 and back-to-back Super Bowl wins in 2003 and 2004. With the victory over Indianapolis in the 2014 AFC Championship, he collected his 21st career postsea-son win, the most postseason wins by a head coach. He expanded on that record and now has 31 postseason victo-ries. The 2018 AFC Championship was Belichick’s ninth conference championship as a head coach, adding to his mark as the most in NFL history. New England’s berth in Super Bowl LII was Belichick’s 12th Super Bowl during his

coaching career, the most among any individual who be-came a head coach in NFL history. Belichick has recorded 311 career wins (regular season and postseason), which is third all-time in NFL history. He owns a career winning per-centage of .678, second all-time, behind George Halas (.682). Belichick directed the Patriots to victories in Super Bowls XXXVI (2001), XXXVIII (2003), XXXIX (2004), XLIX (2014) and LI (2016) and LIII (2018), and in 2007 he be-came the first NFL head coach to guide his team to a 16-0 regular season. His 17 division titles are the most among any coach. He also is the first NFL head coach to lead his team to 11 straight division crowns (2009-19). Belichick helped the Patriots become the first franchise in NFL histo-ry to score 500--or-more points in four seasons (2007-589, 2010-518, 2011-513 and 2012-557). The Rams are the only other team to have done it three times, while Belichick is the only head coach in NFL history to lead a team to three-straight 500-point seasons. Belichick is the only head coach in NFL history to win at least 14 regular-season games in five separate seasons. Only four other coaches – George Seifert (3), Joe Gibbs (2), Mike Ditka (2) and Don Shula (2) – have more than one 14-win season. Belichick’s Patriots teams own the all-time NFL records for consecu-tive victories, including the postseason (21 from 2003-04) and consecutive playoff victories (10 from 2001-05). Over a 100-game span from 2003-09, he directed the Patriots to an 81 wins –the most in NFL history by a head coach. Bel-ichick’s recent accomplishments are the latest triumphs in a career during which he has helped produce eight Super Bowl titles, 12 conference championships and 24 division titles since entering the NFL in 1975. He won his first two Super Bowls as defensive coordinator for the New York Giants in 1986 and 1990. Seifert is the only other man to have won multiple Super Bowls both as a head coach and as an assistant coach. Belichick launched his coaching career in 1975 with the Baltimore Colts and continued as an assistant with Detroit (1976-77), Denver (1978) and the Giants (1979-1990). Belichick was named head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 1991, becoming the youngest head coach in the NFL at age 38. By 1994, under Belichick the Browns finished 11-5 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs, while allowing a league-low 204 total points. In 1996, Belichick joined New England and was a key contributor to the Patriots first division title in 10 years en route to the Patriots appearance in Super Bowl XXXI. Belichick then spent three seasons with the New York Jets (1997-99), helping New York improve from a 1-15 season in 1996 to an appearance in the AFC Championship Game in 1998. Career record (regular season and postseason): 311-149.

LAST MEETING

New England Patriots 36, Saints 20; September 17, 2017 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – If Tom Brady and the Patriots were suffering from a Super Bowl hangover, it looks as though a trip to New Orleans pulled the defending champions out of it.

The 40-year-old Brady bounced back with a vengeance from a season-opening loss, throwing three touchdown passes in the first quarter for the first time in his career, eclipsed 300 yards passing in the first half for only the sec-ond time, and New England scored 30 first-half points en route to a 36-20 victory over the Saints, who dropped their first two games of the season. Brady's maiden Super Bowl triumph in the Superdome back in Feb. 2002 is bound to be one of his fondest memo-ries, but the 18-year veteran looked like a superior quarter-back in his latest visit. He finished 30 of 39 for 447 yards without an interception -- at least not one that counted. Saints defenders caught Brady's passes twice, but both plays were wiped out by New Orleans penalties. Brady joined Warren Moon as the only QBs age 40 or older in NFL history to pass for at least 400 yards and 3 touch-downs in a game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had a 53-yard catch and run to highlight his six-catch, 116-yard performance, but left the game in the second half with a groin injury and did not return.

In Brady and the Saints' Drew Brees, the game featured the National Football League's top two active quarterbacks in terms of career yards and touchdowns. Their 922 touch-down passes and 128,251 yards passing combined coming in represented the most by starting signal-callers in the same NFL game. But in this matchup, Brees couldn't keep up. He was 27 of 45 for 356 yards and two touchdowns. The Saints' desper-ation to stay close was encapsulated by a failed attempt to convert a fourth down -- despite being well within field goal range on the Patriots 25-yard line -- with 2:27 left in the first half and New England up by 13 points. Brady responded by marching New England to the Saints ten-yard line to set up Stephen Gostkowski's field goal, making it 30-13 at halftime The Patriots' first three drives ended with a 19-yard touch-down pass to running back Rex Burkhead, Gronkowski's long touchdown and a 13-yard scoring pass to wide receiv-er Chris Hogan. New Orleans briefly rallied with Brees' 5-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Brandon Coleman and kicker Wil Lutz's field goal on consecutive drives, pull-ing as close as 20-13. But New England responded with running back Mike Gillislee's short scoring run on a drive highlighted by downfield passes from Brady to the skilled Patriots trio of Gronkowski, Hogan and former Saints wideout Brandin Cooks.

Saints 38, Packers 3; September 12, 2021 @ TIAA Bank Field (Jacksonville, Fla.) – Jameis Winston and the hurri-cane-displaced Saints looked right at home in northeast Florida — no doubt to the delight of fans rebuilding homes and lives back in New Orleans. Winston passed for five touchdowns, New Orleans intercepted reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers twice, and the Saints kicked off the post-Drew Brees era with a strik-ingly dominant 38-3 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. “We knew that even though some people don’t have power, they’re going to find a way to watch the Saints,” linebacker and captain Demario Davis said. "That’s just what this team means to the city — and the city means the same to us."

The game, originally scheduled for the Superdome, was moved while the New Orleans area continues to clean up wreckage left by Hurricane Ida, which struck southeast Louisiana as a Category 4 storm on Aug. 29, 16 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina devastated the same re-

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-WEEK 1 VS. GREEN BAY After canceling their final preseason game and practicing two weeks in the Dallas area, the Saints looked as sharp and inspired as any club with such distrac-tions could have hoped. “That was for the city,” Winston said. “We did that for them. We knew how much it would mean to get a great victory for that region. They’ve been through so much. ... Hats off to them for their resilience, because they motivat-ed us. They inspired us to come out there and ball.” Winston, who led the NFL with 30 interceptions in his last season as a starter with Tampa Bay in 2019, was largely judicious and accurate in going an efficient 14 of 20 for 148 yards without an interception. New Orleans also rushed for 171 yards. “Drew always preached, it's about the decision, not the result,” Winston said, alluding to last season, when he served as a reserve and understudy to Brees in an effort to improve the long-term trajectory of his up-and-down career. “Sometimes the decision is throwing the ball away, some-times the decision is running, tucking. Sometimes the deci-sion may be taking a sack.” Winston didn't take a sack, but did take off and run for a few key third-down conversions in the first half. The only risky throw that backfired on him — a de-flected pass caught by Packers defensive back Darnell Savage in the end zone — was negated by a contested roughing-the-passer penalty called against edge rusher Z'Darius Smith. The penalty set up the second touchdown catch of the game by Juwan Johnson, who came in with four career catches and was converted from receiver to a tight end this offseason. On the day before his 25th birthday, Johnson also converted a screen pass into a 12-yard, first-down gain on fourth-and-7 in the second quarter, when the game was still in doubt. He capped that drive with a leaping catch in the end zone on fourth-and-2. The two fourth-down conver-sions highlighted a pivotal 14-play drive that consumed 10 minutes. “You've got to pick your spots where you want to be aggressive and it's a little bit easier on that end of the field,” Payton said. “I felt pretty good about the calls.” Green Bay fans seemed to outnumber Saints fans in a crowd announced at 35,242 for what was officially a Saints home game. But they left disappointed in a day that could not have gone much worse for Rodgers, who was pulled with nearly 11 minutes left. As the time expired, the remaining Saints fans joined in triumphant chants of “Who Dat!” that echoed throughout the stadium. “This is a good kick in the you-know-where,” said Rodgers, who finished 15 of 28 for 133 yards and no TDs. “We felt like we were going to go up and down the field on whoever they have and that obviously wasn’t the case.” Opening the third quarter down 17-3, the Packers squandered a chance to trim their deficit when Rodgers' wobbly pass under pressure was intercepted by rookie de-fensive back Paulson Adebo at the New Orleans 7 early in the third quarter.

On Green Bay's next drive, Marcus Williams inter-cepted Rodgers' deep overthrow and returned it to the Packers 12, setting up Winston's 10-yard TD to Chris Ho-gan. “Every team has a game like this,” said Packers running back Aaron Jones, who was limited to 9 yards on five carries. “It’s better to get it out now.”

FAST START The Saints did not punt in the first half. New Orleans took the opening kickoff for a field goal and led 10-0 after Alvin Kamara took a short forward pitch from Winston as he crossed behind the offensive line, then slipped multiple tackle attempts to squirm into the end zone from 3 yards. That officially went down as Winston’s first regular-season TD pass as a Saint, and he helped set it up with a 10-yard scramble on third-and-8.

Carolina Panthers 26, Saints 7; September 19, 2021 @ Bank of America Stadium – The Carolina Panthers, a week after their season-opening win over the New York Jets, continued to take advantage of home cooking and handed the Saints a 26-7 defeat on a warm afternoon at Bank of America Stadium. Carolina quarterback Sam Darnold was impressive and efficient throughout the majority of the game, complet-ing 26-of-38 passes for 305 yards with two touchdown passes, one interception and a 99.1 rating. But Darnold wasn’t the lone story of the day, as a healthy Christian McCaffrey gained 137 total yards from scrimmage and one rushing touchdown. The Panthers defense seemingly took away most of the Saints’ big play abilities, with New Orleans’ longest play a 27-yard connection between quarterback Jameis Winston and wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humprey. New Orleans struggled running the ball (17 carries for 48 yards) and on early downs, resulting in unfavorable situations and production on third down (2-for-11) and losing the time of possession battle 38:32-21:28.

Defensively, linebacker Demario Davis led the club with 12 tackles, while a pair of young defensive linemen in defensive tackle Malcolm Roach and defensive end Payton Turner recorded their first career interception and sack respectively.

The New Orleans special teams units also worked to keep the Saints in the hunt on a day of tough sledding. Punter Blake Gillikin pinned the Panthers back several times, recording a 45.0 net punting average on six punts with a 60-yard punt. Wide receiver Ty Montgomery had a career-high three coverage stops. Midway through the third quarter, defensive end Carl Granderson, who had made his first career start on defense, blocked a 55-yard field goal attempt by kicker Zane Gonzalez and it was recovered and returned by linebacker Zack Baun. Wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harris returned five kickoffs for a career-high 156 yards, running back a kick late in the second quarter 39 yards.

BUCKING THE ODDS

The Saints have a long tradition of finding players as free agents signed after the draft that make an impact. The majority of these players played key roles in the 38-3 sea-son opening win over Green Bay with Juwan Johnson (two) and Deonte Harris (one) accounting for three of New Orle-ans’ five touchdowns, Jones rushing for 50 yards and Gray leading the team with two special teams stops.

OPPONENT POINTS PER GAME

A rapidly improving defense and crushing and opportunistic special teams coverage units contributed to the Saints fin-ishing fifth in the NFL in opponent points per game in 2020, where from Nov. 8-Dec. 13, they did not surrender more than 16 points in five consecutive games. Only twice (1991, 1992) did the Saints had a streak of giving up 16 or fewer points in six consecutive contests in the same season.

HIGHER EDUCATION

38 schools are represented on the Saints’ 2021 53-man roster. Of that total, 13 are represented by multiple Saints, led by four from Ohio State (S Malcolm Jenkins, Lattimore, CB Bradley Roby and LB Pete Werner).

ROSTER ROLL CALL

Of the players currently on the Saints’ active roster, 37 were on the active roster, a reserve list or the practice squad at the end of 2020. 26 have less than four years of prior NFL experience. The following’s a breakdown of New Orleans’ roster by experience (year entering): 13 years-1, 11 years-1, 10 years-1, 9 years-2, 8 years-3, 7 years-4, 6 years-2, 5 years-8, 4 years-2, 3 years-8, 2 years-8, 1 year-4 rookies-6.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

A spot on the practice squad is another avenue to eventu-ally get onto the active roster and have the opportunity to contribute. The Saints have nine players on their current 2021 53-man roster who moved up to their 53-man roster after being on National Football League practice squads, all who spent time on the Saints practice roster before be-ing promoted. Below is an overview of players on the club’s current 53-man roster with extensive practice squad experi-ence.

Running back Tony Jones Jr. was signed by New Orleans out of Notre Dame following the 2020 NFL Draft. Without the benefit of preseason games due to the COVID-19 pan-demic, Jones Jr. spent the majority of the regular season on the practice squad. As a reward for his hard work in en-hancing his body and technique and providing solid looks on the scout team for the club’s defense throughout the regular season, the 5-foot-11, 224-pound tailback was signed to the active roster and played in the 2020 regular season finale at Carolina. Jones has taken advantage of his large frame and participation in his first full offseason strength and conditioning program to win a roster spot on the opening day roster. In the two preseason games, Jones led the team in rushing with 12 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown and caught six passes for 42 yards. In the season-opening win over Green Bay, Jones carried 11 times for 50 yards (4.5 avg.) and catching a pass for a gain of three yards, supplementing Alvin Kamara

After spending the majority of 2019 on the practice squad, playing in five games with one start and no statistics, wide receiver Lill’Jordan Humphrey appeared in three games with one start in 2020 and posted three receptions for 46

yards with his first career touchdown, while adding a 14-yard grab in the postseason loss to Tampa Bay. Humphrey won a competition for a roster spot in the 2021 preseason, when he ranked second on the team in receiving with sev-en receptions for 103 yards and two touchdowns to tie for the team lead.

After appearing in three regular season games in 2017 with a four-year catch and posting two receptions for 12 yards and one touchdown in the 2018 NFC Championship game, tight end Garrett Griffin was elevated to the club’s active roster multiple times in 2020, playing in four games with three starts, serving as a blocking presence and has ap-peared in both contests in 2021.

Running back Dwayne Washington participated on the Saints practice squad briefly in 2018 after spending most of the 2016 and 2017 seasons on Detroit’s active roster. Through development, the tailback, in addition to his run-ning skills, has developed into a core special teams player with eight stops.

Tight end Juwan Johnson was signed by New Orleans out of Oregon, where he spent his graduate transwer season following the 2020 NFL Draft as a wideout. Recording four receptions for 39 yards seven contests, Johnson spent the majority of the season on the practice squad. Converted to tight end in 2021, Johnson’s taken advantage of his large frame and participation in his first full offseason strength and conditioning program, posting three receptions for 80 yards in the preseason. the season-opening win over Green Bay, Johnson posted three receptions for 21 yards and two touchdowns. On Sunday at Carolina, Johnson had a career-long 23-yard grab.

After spending the second half of the 2020 season on the practice squad and the 2019 regular season out of football, defensive lineman Christian Ringo secured a roster spot in the team’s 2021 defensive line rotation. Also having prac-tice squad stints with Detroit, Dallas and Green Bay, Ringo has played in 21 games for five teams and recorded 17 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble. In his Saints de-but September 12, Ringo got the start and played a role in a run-stopping effort that held Green Bay to only 43 rushing yards on 15 carries (2.9 avg.). On Sunday at Carolina, Rin-go was again a run-stopping presence in the middle as the Panthers managed only 2.7 yards per carry (33 carries for 89 yards).

After spending the last six weeks of the 2019 season and the first 16 weeks of the 2020 campaign on the team’s practice squad, linebacker Andrew Dowell was elevated to the club’s active roster for the regular season finale at Car-olina. In two preseason games in 2021, he posted five tackles, one forced fumbles and two coverage spots to se-cure a roster spot.

Ahead is a synopsis of several returning players and new-comers through the draft and free agency to the 2021 Saints offensive line:

LT Terron Armstead - The club’s first third round draft

choice in 2013 out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Armstead im-pressed scouts by running the fastest 40-yard dash time (4.71) by an offensive lineman in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine. He’s opened 87 regular season games and nine postseason contests and has been selected to the Pro Bowl the past three seasons, as well as being se-lected as the club’s 2019 Man of the Year and the team nominee for the NFL’s Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.

T/G Andrus Peat - A first round selection (13th overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Stanford, Peat was considered one of the top college linemen in 2014. In his first seven seasons, he’s played in 77 regular season games with 70 starts, opening a contest at every position except center. In 2020, he opened 13 contests at left guard as he is part of the NFC Pro squad for the third consecutive season.

RT Ryan Ramczyk - The Black and Gold used their sec-ond first round selection in the 2017 NFL Draft to snag Ramczyk out of Wisconsin, viewed by many as one of the best linemen in the entire draft. After opening all 16 games and both postseason contests in 2017 and being selected as a PFWA All-Rookie, he was an AP All-Pro selection at right tackle in 2018, not missing an offensive snap in both postseason contests and all 15 regular games at the right tackle position that he played in. Ramczyk opened all 16 regular season games in 2019 to serve as a dominating bookend to Armstead, earning first-team All-Pro. Opening every contest and playing a key role in blocking for a run offense that averaged over 200 yards per game in a three-game stretch for the first time since 2018 in three contests and finished the season ranked sixth in the league in rush-ing offense, Ramczyk was the team’s 2020 nominee for the NFL’s Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award and was selected as a second-team AP All-Pro.

C/G Erik McCoy - New Orleans traded up in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft to select this standout from Texas A&M, who was a three-year starter, anchoring the middle of the Aggies offensive line. In 2018, he was a team captain who paved the way for the SEC’s leading rusher and in 2019 was the first Saint in franchise history to start at center in Week One, opening all 16 regular season con-tests. McCoy opened all 16 contests and both postseason games in 2020 for the NFL’s sixth-ranked rushing offense.

G/C Cesar Ruiz - The hard-working, talented and intelli-gent lineman is a perfect fit for New Orleans’ culture with the 24th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Michigan. The three-year letterman played in 36 games in college, starting his last 31 including the final 26 at center, earning All-Big Ten in 2019. Ruiz settled in at right guard in the last 15 games, with nine start, as well as both postseason con-tests. When McCoy suffered a lower leg injury in the first quarter of the season-opening win over Green Bay, Ruiz transitioned over to his natural position, where the Saints did not give up a sack.

OFFENSIVE NOTES

OL Calvin Throckmorton - This 6-5, 309 pound former four-year starter on the Oregon line was signed as an un-drafted free agent in 2020, possessing the flexibility to play all five positions along the offensive line. After spending his rookie season on the practice squad, Throckmorton in-creased strength in the 2021 offseason and made big strides in training camp, securing a roster spot in 2021. In his NFL debut in the season opening-win, Throckmorton was called to play right guard following a lower leg injury to McCoy in the first quarter, subsequently starting in Week Two at Carolina.

T Landon Young - A mainstay at left tackle for his en-tire college career at Kentucky, Young played in 49 con-tests with 30 starts in his college career. The Lexington, Ky. native was selected by New Orleans in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft and held up to the competition in training camp to snare a roster spot.

T/G James Hurst - A seven-year NFL veteran who was signed as a free agent from Baltimore in 2020, Hurst has 103 career regular season appearances with 49 at three different positions on the inside and outside. Hurst’s versa-tility came in handy in 2020, his first season in New Orle-ans as he has started two contests at left tackle with Arm-stead on the COVID-19 list and the Saints gained over 200 yards rushing each time. Hurst started at left guard in the Christmas Day win over Minnesota in place of an injured Peat as the offensive line blocked for a season-high 264

yards rushing and did not give up a sack.

DEFENSIVE DRAFTS

Over the last seven drafts from 2015-21, New Orleans has shown a commitment to defense, spending 18-of-32 picks on that side of the ball. With nine picks in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Saints picked six defensive players, the most taken since New Orleans chose nine in a 12-round selec-tion meeting in 1990. Below is an overview of the defensive players selected by New Orleans from 2015-21 currently with the club:

CB Paulson Adebo, Stanford (D3-21) - Selected in the third round (76th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Stan-ford, Adebo finished his college career playing in 22 games with 21 starts for Stanford and recording 97 tackles, 34 passes defensed and eight interceptions, earning All-Pac-12 honors in both 2018 and 2019. He started in the season opener and became the first Saint to record an interception in his NFL debut since 2002 with a third quarter pick of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers.

LB Zack Baun, Wisconsin (D3a-20) - Selected in the

third round (74th overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Wisconsin, Baun finished his college career with 154 tackles, 15 sacks, two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, six passes defensed, three forced fum-bles and a fumble recovery. The Saints were attracted to his playmaking ability that he displayed for the Badgers in 2019, when he ranked second in the Big Ten with a 19.5 stops for loss and 12 sacks (second among Power Five linebackers in both categories). Baun contributed in 13 reg-ular season contests posting eight defensive stops and four coverage tackles and made two special teams stops in the NFC Divisional Playoff loss to Tampa Bay. Baun led New Orleans with a career-high and team-leading five solo tack-les in the season-opening win over Green Bay.

DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Florida (D4-19) Possessing a combination of instincts and speed, this Florida native was a solid value in the fourth round after playing in all 13 games with 12 starts for the Gators in 2018, when he post-ed 71 tackles, three sacks and four interceptions with two brought back for touchdowns. Gardner-Johnson appeared in all 16 contests with seven starts as a rookie in 2019, re-cording 46 tackles (35 solo), an interception, eight passes defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He finished third on the team with 65 stops in 2020.

In 2017 season, he finished with 53 stops, five picks, to lead NFL rookies and the Saints, tying a team rookie record, a club-best 18 passes defensed, a forced fumble and a recovery. Lattimore was the first Saints corner selected to the Pro Bowl since 1995 and was selected as AP Defensive Rook-ie of the Year. His five takeaways (two interceptions and three fumble recoveries) in 2018 led the team, adding two more picks in the NFC Divisional Playoff win. For his efforts in 2019, Lattimore was selected to his second Pro Bowl after posting a club-best 14 passes defensed. In the 2020 regular season, he led the cornerbacks with 63 tackles, two interceptions and ten passes defensed as he was selected to his third Pro Bowl in 2020.

FS Marcus Williams, Utah (D2-17) - A three-year starter at the University of Utah, Williams was twice named All-Pac 12 and earned second-team All-American as a junior when he tied for second in the conference with five inter-ceptions. The defender boasts a dangerous mix of speed, fluidity, and instinct that allows him to read offenses and make breaks on the football. His athleticism showed in his rookie season in as he made 70 tackles, four interceptions and six passes defensed, adding ten more stops (seven solo) and another pick in the postseason. In 2019, he played in all 15 games with 14 starts, posting 52 tackles (35 solo), the team-high four picks, tied for eighth in the National Football League, 13 passes defensed, a forced fumble and two coverage stops. In 2020, he had a club-best-tying three interceptions and recorded a pick in the season-opening win over Green Bay.

LB Pete Werner, Ohio State (D2-21) - New Orleans se-lected this three-year starter from Ohio State to compete at the linebacker position. The Indianapolis, Ind. native fin-ished his college career playing in 47 career games with 35 starts, recording 185 tackles (111 solo), 16 stops for loss, four sacks, 11 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

CB P.J. Williams, Florida State (D3b-15) - Williams’ ca-reer was initially limited by missing all but two games his first two seasons with a hamstring injury (2015) and a con-cussion (2016), but he’s rebounded to miss only two games with injury since. An experienced starter from Flori-da State, who developed into one of the nation’s top cover corners, in 2019, he made 41 stops, a sack, an intercep-tion, three passes defensed and one special teams stop, serving as the team’s nickel corner for the second straight season. In the Dec. 22, 2019 win at Tennessee, Williams further showed his versatility by making the switch to safety after Marcus Williams was forced to depart with a groin injury and then starting in Williams’ place in the regular season finale at Carolina. In 2020, Williams posted 37 tack-les, a club-best two defensive fumble recoveries,, one in-terception, two passes defensed and three special teams stops in 15 games.

The Saints produced their most impressive run-stopping effort in several seasons in 2018 and carried it over in 2019 and 2020. In seven straight games in 2018, they didn’t sur-render 100 rushing yards to an opponent for the first time since 2007 had a seven-game run in 2020. The Saints have not given up 100 yards rushing in their last four regu-lar season contests. Below are the longest streaks in team history the defense has gone without surrendering 100 yards. Between 2017-20 they didn’t allow a 100-yard rush-er in a 55 straight games (regular season and postseason), the longest streak in NFL history.

COVERAGE UNITS

New Orleans’ coverage and block units are expected to be led in 2021 by CB Paulson Adebo, lLB Zack Baun, LB Kaden Elliss, DE Carl Granderson, DB J.T. Gray, QB Taysom Hill, WR Ty Montgomery, RB Dwayne Wash-ington and CB P.J. Williams.

Adebo, a third round pick from Stanford, secured no return with a stop on a 59-yard punt by P Blake Gillikin early in the fourth quarter of his NFL preseason debut at Baltimore

One of the club’s two third round draft picks in 2020, Baun, a former University of Wisconsin standout, embraced work on the club’s coverage units in 2020 with three stops. On Sunday, he made an adept play by returning a blocked field goal.

A seventh round draft pick of New Orleans in 2019, Elliss’ blue collar mentality fit in with the coverage units with four stops in 2020 and posted his first of 2021 on Sunday at Carolina.

Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2019 out of Wyoming, the height of the 6-5 Granderson, helps in leverage in block units, shown when he blocked a 55-yard field goal attempt on Sunday at Carolina.

Gray led the team in 2019 with 17 stops, blocked a punt and recovered a fumble on a muffed punt as he was select-ed an AP second-team All-Pro. Gray, voted by his team-mates as the Saints special teams captain, led the team with two stops in the season opener.

Montgomery, a seven-year NFL veteran, was originally a third round pick of the Packers in 2015 out of Stanford. He can play tailback and wideout and also possesses the abil-ity to return kicks. In the season opener against Green Bay, Montgomery downed a punt at the Packers five-yard line and had his first career special teams stop. On Sunday at Carolina, he followed it up with three coverage stops.

Washington is a sixth-year NFL veteran who was originally a seventh round draft pick of the Detroit Lions in 2016. In addition to his value in providing dependable depth at the tailback, Washington has excelled on special teams for New Orleans. In his career, he has posted 11 coverage stops and one blocked punt recovery.

Williams, in his seventh season, has continued to add to his versatility the past two seasons, flipping between cor-nerback and free safety on multiple occasions as well as increasing his contributions to the coverage units, where he posted four regular season stops in 2020 and his first post-season coverage tackle in the wild card win over Chicago.

• After signing a long-term contract extension on the eve of the 2020 regular season, Kamara even exceeded expecta-tions as one of the most electric players in the NFL. He carried 187 times for a career-high 932 yards (5.0 avg.) with 16 touchdowns, tied for first in the NFL. He led all run-ning backs in receiving with a career-high and team best 83 receptions for 756 yards (9.1 avg.) with five touchdowns. Kamara, who was the second Saint to lead the team in both rushing and receiving, currently led the NFL with a franchise-record 21 total touchdowns, was second with 93 first downs and third with a career-best 1,688 total yards from scrimmage, the seventh-highest total in club history.

• Kamara enjoyed a productive start to the season in the season-opening win over Green Bay, when he started and finished with 83 rushing yards on 20 attempts. He now stands at 3,423 career rushing yards, surpassing Chuck Muncie and Rueben Mayes for sixth place in the Saints’

record books. Kamara added eight receiving yards on three receptions, with one receiving touchdown, surpassing Pierre Thomas for the seventh-most receptions in club rec-ord books and the most receptions all-time for a Saints run-ning back.

As a rookie, Granderson appeared in eight regular season contests, posting ten tackles and one sack as he moved into the defensive line rotation in December and is ex-pected to see more action in 2020. In 2020, Granderson added 11 tackles, five sacks, ranked fourth on the team, a club-best two forced fumbles and one pass defensed as he has seen more extensive time in the club’s defensive line rotation as his game experience has continued to increase. On Sunday at Carolina, Granderson received his first start in place of an injured Marcus Davenport and blocked his first career field goal on special teams.

TANOH KPASSAGNON

• Kpassagnon joined the Saints via unrestricted free agen-cy in the offseason, looking to bring his size, speed and athleticism to one of the most productive lines in the NFL. Formerly a second round draft choice in the 2017 NFL

Draft (59th overall) out of Villanova by Kansas City, Kpas-sagnon spent his first four seasons developing into a pass rushing presence along the Chiefs front. He started 15-of-16 games for Kansas City in 2020, recording 28 tackles (20 solo), one sack and three passes defensed while starting all three postseason contests with five tackles (one solo), one sack and one pass defense in the Chiefs’ run to Super Bowl LV. For his career, the fifth-year pro has appeared in 61 regular season games with 24 starts, recording 74 tack-les (51 solo), seven sacks, five passes defensed, one fum-ble recovery, one forced fumble, one special teams stop and a blocked field goal. Kpassagnon has also started six-of-eight postseason contests, posting ten tackles (seven solo), three sacks and two passes defensed.

• In his Saints debut, Kpassagnon’s sack/forced fumble recovered by Kaden Elliss at the New Orleans two-yard line in the fourth quarter against Green Bay, would keep the Packers out of the end zone for the season-opening win.

DEMARIO DAVIS

• This dependable and sure-tackling defender joined the Saints after a breakout 2017, where he started 16 games for the Jets. Davis posted a team-high and career-high 165 tackles (112 solo) and a career-best five sacks. For his ca-reer, the Brandon, Miss. native has appeared in 145 games with 131 starts for the Jets (2012-15, 2017), Cleveland (2016) and Saints, recording 1004 tackles (664 solo), 26.5 sacks, two interceptions, 38 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and 24 special team stops.

• In 2018, Davis opened all 16 contests and led the team with 110 stops (74 solo), five sacks to lead the linebackers, four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Davis’ abilities to diagnose and tackle played a key role in New Orleans ranking second in the NFL in op-ponent rushing yards per game and opponent rushing yards per play. Participating in the postseason for the first time, Davis led the defense with 22 stops (15 solo), an in-terception in the NFC Championship and a pass defense. In 2019, he posted 111 stops, ranked first on the club, four sacks, one interception and 11 passes defensed to help spur the league’s fourth-ranked run defense.

After a stellar college career at Wisconsin, Baun played in 15 regular season games in 2020, with three starts at strongside linebacker, posting eight tackles (three solo) and four special teams stops. Overall in his college career, he played in 39 games with 27 starts, all which took place in his final two seasons, recording 154 tackles, 30.5 stops for loss, 15 sacks, two interceptions and three forced fumbles.

KADEN ELLISS

• Kaden Elliss was selected by the Saints with their second of two seventh round draft choices (244th overall) in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Idaho.

In 2020, he appeared in 15 games and two postseason contests on special teams re-cording five special teams stops. The son of former Nation-al Football League standout Luther Elliss, he will look to play a bigger role for New Orleans in 2021 utilizing his strength, speed and size. In the season opening win over Green Bay, Elliss’s adept fumble recovery in the fourth quarter at the New Orleans two-yard line would keep the Packers out of the end zone for the contest.

PETE WERNER

New Orleans selected this three-year starter from Ohio State to compete at the linebacker position in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The Indianapolis, Ind. native finished his college career playing in 47 career games with 35 starts, recording 185 tackles (111 solo), 16 stops for loss, four sacks, 11 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

MARSHON LATTIMORE

• Selected by the Saints in the first round (11th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft, Lattimore started all 13 games he ap-peared in. He totaled 53 tackles (44 solo), a forced fumble, one fumble recovery, five interceptions for 85 yards and 18 passes defensed, as he became the youngest Saint (21 years old) ever selected to the Pro Bowl and was selected as the AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Lattimore also added two picks in the NFC Divisional Playoff win over Philadelphia.

• A standout 2019 campaign by Lattimore resulted in him being voted to the Pro Bowl, the only Saints cornerback to ever be selected multiple times. Lattimore started all 14 games he played in and posted 57 stops, one interception and ranked first on the team with 14 passes defensed.

Below were Marshon Lattimore’s 2020 defensive highlights from a campaign when he posted a career-high 62 tackles (52 solo), two interceptions and 11 passes defensed as he was voted to the Pro Bowl. High expectations follow in 2021 as he signed a long-term contract extension prior to the season opener, lock up the lockdown corner in the New Orleans secondary.

• In the season-opening, September 13 34-23 win vs. Tam-pa Bay, Lattimore was assigned to wideout Mike Evans, who recorded only one two-yard touchdown reception late in the fourth quarter with New Orleans already 34-17.

2021 MINI BIOS AND STATS 2 Jameis Winston Pos.: QB Ht.: 6-4 Wt.: 231 Exp.: 7 College: Florida State Regular Season Career GP/GS (78/72): 2021:(2/2) 2021 REVIEW: vs. Green Bay (9/12): Made his first start for the Saints and passed for 148 yards on 14-of-20 passing with a 130.8 quarterback rating. Winston threw 5 touchdown passes, with a long of 55 yards on a touchdown pass to Deonte Harris. His five touchdown passes tied a career high from when he threw five touchdowns against the Eagles (11/22/15) as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccannears. He also finished with 37 rushing yards on six attempts. Winston earned his first victory as the starting quarterback for the black and gold. In his first start with the Saints, Winston became the third player since 1950 to throw for five touchdowns in his first start with a team, finishing 14-of-20 for 148 yards and the five touchdowns.

With zero interceptions, Winston becomes the first quarterback in NFL history to throw five touchdown passes with no interceptions in his first career start with a new team in a season-opener. Overall, Winston becomes the 7th quarterback with five touchdown passes and no interceptions in a season opener, and first since Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson did so at Miami on September 8, 2019. Winston became the 33rd player to start a game at quarterback for New Orleans, and the 11th to win in his first start. The victory is Winston’s third career opening day victory and his first career win over Green Bay. at Carolina (9/19): Made his second start as a Saint, completing 11-of-22 passes for 111 yards and two interceptions. Winston got the Saints on the board with his first rushing touchdown of the season with 14:37 remaining in the fourth quarter.
