Everyone loves a comeback story, and perhaps there is no better time for a symbolic display of perseverance.

Tonight, ESPN (8:00 p.m. ET) will re-air the iconic 2006 Monday Night Football matchup between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons -- a game not remembered for its competitive esteem, but one that will forever symbolize the healing of a city.

Over 70,000 raucous fans packed the Louisiana Superdome for the Saints' first home game in the building since Hurricane Katrina forced the team to relocate for the 2005 season. It was the culmination of New Orleans' perseverance for the past year and all their pent-up emotion exploded in the opening minutes thanks to Steve Gleason's blocked punt which resulted in a Curtis Deloatch touchdown. Although the Saints never looked back from that infamous play and proceeded to blowout their NFC South archrival, the night will forever be an important one in Saints lore.

The New Orleans Saints have hired former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive backs coach Grady Brown, according to Matt Zenitz of 247sports. His title with the team is still to be determined. Brown had interviewed for the Atlanta Falcons’ vacant defensive coordinator position this offseason before they ultimately chose former New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich.

It became apparent that Brown would not be returning to the Steelers when they announced the hiring of Gerald Alexander as their new DB coach. During Brown’s four-year stint, Pittsburgh posted a 38-29-1 record while the...

Why WR Dont’e Thorton should be looked at by the Saints

Dont’e Thornton, a wide receiver out of Tennessee, had an impressive day at the NFL Combine and because of his performance, I think the New Orleans Saints should think about drafting him this April.

Standing at 6’5’’, his 40-yard dash of 4.30 stands out. And according to NFL Draft Files, this speed is nothing new. Thornton also had a vertical jump of 33” and a broad jump of 10’6’’, with a relative athletic score of 9.80.

In 2024, his best season of college football, Thornton had 26 receptions for 662 yards and six touchdowns. His best game was against Oklahoma, where he had two...

Two NFL Draft prospects that had their stock affected by Combine measurements

Most of the outside focus of the NFL Combine is on the 40-yard dash to see who runs the fastest. For some positions, this drill is essential. For others, different drills are a focus of many scouts. One aspect of the Combine is important no matter what: The measurements. Every prospect participating in the combine gets their height, weight, arm length, hand size, and wing span measured. Having the ideal measurements is something teams value higher than most categories, and it can affect draft stock if a prospect has surprising or disappointing measurements. It happens every year, and...

The interview process is vital to understanding how these prospects think and if they can make it in the NFL. The New Orleans Saints will do their due diligence throughout the combine week, and although the team has hinted at Derek Carr being the starter in 2025, QB still needs to be looked at going into the draft. One of these quarterbacks the team could target, Miami's Cam Ward, is considered the far and away top QB in the draft. It is likely Ward gets selected before pick 9, but per Nick Underhill, the Saints still met with him yesterday at the NFL Combine.

This meeting is not a...

Per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football, the New Orleans Saints had a formal meeting with Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

Sanders, son of Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, is one of the top QB prospects of this draft cycle. In the past two seasons at Colorado, he has amassed 7,362 passing yards, 64 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. The best game for Sanders would come in 2023, in a game against the Colorado State Rams, where he completed 38/47 passes for 347 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception.

In 2024, he was given the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award, as well as...

Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker stated that the team “won’t pass up on a generational talent with the first pick in the NFL Draft,” but Tennessee needs a quarterback, and Cam Ward is the best in the class.

With Myles Garrett asking for a trade, edge rusher becomes a massive need for the Browns. Abdul Carter is arguably the best prospect in the 2025 Draft and is the best chance for Cleveland to replace Garrett’s production.
