re: Alltime Saints Jersey # Countdown to First Preseason Game

One of my favorite Saints. #29 Sammy Knight.

---

An undrafted free agent signed in 1997. Played 6 years for the Saints with one Pro Bowl in 2001. He started 89 games, had 5 sacks and 28 interceptions with 4 TDs and 440 tackles for the Saints. Was elected to the Saints hall of Fame in 2011. Currently works with DBs at USC.

Career totals: 168 starts, 9 sacks, 42 interceptions with 4 TDs and 792 tackles.

He has the most interceptions returned for a TD in Saints history (4) and he is third all time in interceptions in Saints history (28).

The best #27 to ever play for the Saints

A post so nice I'm using it twice: (w/ updated stats)



DEUCE

I remember watching the draft and thinking, "Didn't we just give up all of our draft picks two years ago for Ricky Williams?" I did remember Ole Miss trying to make a "22 for Hiesman" campaign for Deuce and remembered that he was their go to guy for everything. I remember not liking him much either because he was from Ole Miss, but I was going to give him a chance although I thought he would be the NFL version of Kevin Faulk (3rd down back/PR/KR). WRONG. Fast forward and he's definently one of my favorite Saints of all time.
I remember being at the game when he broke the record for most touchdowns. Awesome!

In the Louisiana Sports and Saints Hall of Fame. Was in the 2002 & 2003 Pro Bowl.

I honestly looked, but couldn't find a good picture of him.




I really liked him out of Florida and thought he'd be good for us.

Damn, 23 days. Go ahead and update Bayou.
