Several New Orleans franchise records are in jeopardy heading into the 2022 season, as a crop of current Saints players are poised to carve their names into the history books.

Several New Orleans Saints players have the opportunity to carve out a place in the franchise's all-time record books in 2022. With the NFL in their second year of a 17-game regular season, players have better chances at single-season team and league records.
The 32-year-old Ingram needs only 41 rushing attempts to take over first place in this category. In just seven games with the Saints last season, he had 68 carries for 260 yards. Ingram's top spot on this list may also be short-lived.

Alvin Kamara has averaged over 182 rushing attempts per season over his five-year career, including a career-high 240 carries in 2021. A healthy Ingram is sure to cut into that total, but Kamara seems a solid bet to get the 215 rushing attempts necessary to pass Dalton Hilliard for third place.

Outside of single season marks, there are a number of New Orleans players are also poised to move up the team’s career statistics list. Here are some of the Saints career records that could fall in 2022.

Career Sacks (official)
Rickey Jackson - 115 (unofficially 123)
Cameron Jordan - 107
Sacks didn't become an official NFL statistic until 1982, nullifying the 8 sacks that Rickey Jackson had during his 1981 rookie campaign. Jackson had a 15-year Hall of Fame career, 13 seasons in New Orleans. He had six seasons of double-digit sack totals with the Saints, adding two more years with at least nine sacks.

Jordan enters his 12th NFL season, all with the Saints, on the cusp of breaking Jackson's 29-year-old franchise record. A first-round pick out of California in 2011, Jordan hasn't had less than 7.5 sacks in a season since his rookie campaign. He has double-digit sack totals in six seasons, including four of the last five years.

The 33-year-old Jordan is still playing at a high level. He had 12.5 sacks in 2021, with 8.5 coming in the last four games. With 8.5 sacks this season, Jordan would overtake Jackson as the all-time franchise leader.

With 16.5 sacks, Jordan would pass Jackson's unofficial franchise total of 123. Jordan's career-high sack total is 15.5, achieved in 2019.

Two of the greatest players in franchise history, Jackson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, the first predominantly Saints player to receive the honor. Jordan has a strong chance to join him in Canton at the conclusion of his career.

Career Rushing Yards
Mark Ingram - 6,267
Deuce McAllister - 6,096
George Rogers - 4,267
Alvin Kamara - 4,238
Ingram, entering his 12th NFL season and tenth with New Orleans, looks to add on to his franchise leading rushing total. Hot on his heels is Kamara, who needs just 30 yards to pass George Rogers for third place on the franchise rushing list.

A third-round choice in the 2017 NFL Draft by New Orleans, Kamara has led the team in rushing yards for the last four years, averaging over 877 yards per season.

With 1,858 rushing yards, which would be a single-season franchise record, Kamara would also pass McAllister for second place. Kamara's career-high in rushing yards is 932, accomplished in 2019.

Ingram, who will back up Kamara this season, figures to hold him off for a few more seasons. Kamara, on the other hand, looks to become just the eighth player in New Orleans history to record a 1,000-yard rushing season.

Ingram accomplished that feat twice, in back-to-back years in 2016 and 2017. McAllister has the franchise record for most 1,000-yard rushing seasons with four.

Career Rushing Attempts
Deuce McAllister - 1,429
Mark Ingram - 1,389
Dalton Hilliard - 1,126
George Rogers - 995
Alvin Kamara - 912
The 32-year-old Ingram needs only 41 rushing attempts to take over first place in this category. In just seven games with the Saints last season, he had 68 carries for 260 yards. Ingram's top spot on this list may also be short-lived.

Alvin Kamara has averaged over 182 rushing attempts per season over his five-year career, including a career-high 240 carries in 2021. A healthy Ingram is sure to cut into that total, but Kamara seems a solid bet to get the 215 rushing attempts necessary to pass Dalton Hilliard for third place.

Career Rushing Touchdowns
Mark Ingram - 51
Deuce McAllister - 49
Alvin Kamara - 47
Ingram has been a friend and mentor to Kamara since 2017. This figures to be a good-natured battle all season for the franchise lead in rushing touchdowns. Still a threat in goal-line situations, Ingram figures to have his fair share of scoring opportunities in 2021.

Kamara has been a scoring machine since entering the league. He holds the franchise's single-season rushing touchdown record with 16 in 2020, surpassing his own team record of 14 in 2018.

Kamara had a career-low four rushing scores last season, but that figures to be much higher with additional offensive weapons to attract defensive attention in 2022.
