re: Alltime Saints Jersey # Countdown to First Preseason Game

Sean Lumpkin #46
He was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the 4th round (106th overall) of the 1992 NFL Draft.


Played with the Saints from 92-96. He had 165 tackles, 2 interceptions and 1 int returned for a touchdown.


I don't remember him being that good. I though he was just ehh, but Canal Street Chronicles named him one of the worst all time defensive players of the Saints.

SS: Sean Lumpkin - Lumpkin started 4 years for the Saints are was largely bad, constantly going for big hits that didn't happen, not too different from Tebucky Jones. He also had bricks for hands and was hit in the numbers without coming up with the pick numerous times.
