Six Pro Bowlers

It's a shame they won't get to play in it.

Let's beat Falcons then talk shite!! Haha

Michael Thomas is the FIRST WR pro bowler Drew Brees has ever played with

More detail

The New Orleans Saints have not been well-represented at the Pro Bowl the past two seasons.

Only one Saint played in the game in 2015 and 2016.

Winning made the NFL take notice of the stars in New Orleans again. New Orleans has landed six players on the Pro Bowl team this season, the most the Saints have produced since seven representatives were named in 2009 on their way to the Super Bowl.

Quarterback Drew Brees, running back Mark Ingram, running back Alvin Kamara, wide receiver Michael Thomas, defensive end Cameron Jordan and cornerback Marshon Lattimore were all named to the NFC's Pro Bowl roster on Tuesday night.

The Pro Bowl will be played on January 28 in Orlando. If the Saints reach the Super Bowl, none of the six players named would reach the mark.

And the Saints contingent is full of milestones.

For Brees, who finished fifth overall in the fan vote with 743,355 votes overall, the Pro Bowl will be the 11th of his career, tying him with 11 other players for the fourth-most all-time.

Due to the success of the Saints' running game, Brees has not thrown the ball as much as he has in most of his seasons in New Orleans, but he is still tied with Tom Brady for second in the NFL in quarterback rating (104.0), ranks fourth in passing yards (3,850) and is on pace to take back the NFL record for completion percentage that Minnesota's Sam Bradford broke last year, completing 71.8 percent of his throws so far.

The running back tandem he's been working with this season has been so brilliant that the Saints landed both backs on the Pro Bowl team, marking the first pair of teammates with more than 100 carries to make the team in the same season since Tampa Bay's Warrick Dunn and Mike Alstott in 2000.

Ingram, who earned the second Pro Bowl bid of his career, is in the middle of the best season of his seven-year career. He already has career highs in rushing yards (1,045), touchdowns (11) and catches (51). What makes it even more impressive is that he's put the season together despite the presence of Kamara, the brilliant rookie who leads the Saints with 12 touchdowns and ranks seventh in the league with 1,336 yards from scrimmage (652 rushing, 684 receiving).

Those three are joined by Michael Thomas, who makes history as the first Saints receiver of the Brees era to reach the Pro Bowl. Thomas, who became just the second receiver in NFL history, along with the Giants' Odell Beckham, to post 90 catches in the first two seasons of his career, ranks third in the NFL in receptions (94) and sixth in yards (1,085).

Defensively, Jordan earned the third Pro Bowl berth of his career, a key since he has often been overlooked in the past.

This time, though, Jordan has been a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, achieving his goal of a defensive triple-double by racking up 10 sacks, 14 tackles-for-loss and 11 passes batted, along with a game-sealing pick-six against the Detroit Lions.

Rounding out the group is Marshon Lattimore, who gives the Saints their first Pro Bowl cornerback since Eric Allen earned the honor in 1995. Lattimore, a front-runner for Defensive Rookie of the Year, has made four interceptions, broken up 13 passes and received widespread recognition as one of the league's best cover corners in his first season in the league.

“Three rookies were named to this year's Pro Bowl: Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt, Saints RB Alvin Kamara and Saints CB Marshon Lattimore.

2 Pro Bowl Running backs

I’m not sure why it says 3 rookies. Budda Baker from the Cardinals made it too.

severely underrated offensive line

Nope. Until this year he’s never played with one that made the pro bowl

Well deserved for all. ROY and Probowl for Lattimore and Kamara...pretty stout
