Joe Schmidt
Schmidt was named the 65th greatest football player of all time in 2007 by “The Sporting News.” Schmidt was known for how tough he was, how many hits he could take and still get up, and the sheer grit and blood he shed for his sport. He was inducted into the hall of fame in 1973, seven years after he played his final game.
Pat Swilling
The Saints were lucky to have this 6’3, 245-pound giant on their line. Just like Rickey Jackson, Pat Swilling made his impact in New Orleans by making his backline completely untouchable. Swilling was invited to the Pro Bowl five times and was given the All-Pro title twice. Swilling was named the Defensive Player of the year in 1991, has been inducted into the Saints’ Hall of Fame, but has yet to get inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.
