All Time Saints Roster: Drafted vs Free Agents (1 Viewer)

[IceHot]

Curious as to how you will count the Pre-Free Agent Free Agents like one of my all-time favorites Doug Atkins (easily one of the greatest DEs to ever play the game but was winding down his career when he came to the Saints).

So I will put down a few interesting ones to consider...

Not Original Saints (or UDFAs)
DE Doug Atkins
DE Other than Doug DFE Free Agents are not our strong suit probably Alex Okafor
FB Jim Taylor
CB Dave Whitsell
CB Mike McKenzie
CB Fred Thomas
KR Michael Lewis
QB Jim Everett
QB Arron Brooks
QB Jeff Blake
OG Conrad Dobbler - not great but most of our best historical OL are homegrown (other than Centers)
OG Jake Kupp
C Jerry Fontenot
TE Jeremy Shockey
TE Ben Watson
TE Mark Campbell and Billy Miller

Original Drafted Saints
WR Danny Abramowicz
WR Wes Chandler
WR Eric Martin
MLB Joe Federspiel
FS Tom Myers
CB Dave Waymer
NT Derland Moore
DT Laroi Glover
C Joel Hilgenberg - Not many homegrown centers (more Jay Hilgenbergs than Joels)
C Tom Ackerman
FB Ironhead Hayward
FB T-Rex (Terrelle Smith)

Besides Drew, you gotta put Vilma as #2. He was one of the catalyst's for us winning the Superbowl

Vilma was a trade so where does that fall? As was Shockey who probably deserves some recognition on one of these lists
