55 Mark Fields

Jake Reed, big time player from Minny whe he was with Carter and Moss, came here for a few years and wore 86. He is the best 86 we have had.

I remember Jake Reed, and I even remember him being here around 2000 under Haslett. I just do not remember him producing much.

55 Mark Fields

You are right, he gives Fujita a run for his money. Fields was super faster, could never quite put it together here the way he did in Carolina. I remember when we drafted him, I had such high hopes.

Of course, I had high hopes for Alex Molden only because I had no choice and he did not turn out to be anything more than a disappointment.

86 Jake Reed--Awesome reciever we got from the Vikings
40 Brian Milne--Hakim Drops the Ball is just too unforgettable

He wasn't bad...good possession receiver, but was definitely on a downhill stroke when he came to us and still was very good in our eyes. There may be some clarification needed here. Are we asking the greatest NFL player that wore Saints numbers or the best one to rock the numbers as a Saint?

86. ?? This number is filled with Pre-Season Camp Studs: Onome Ojo and Zach Hilton. I remember signing Gerald Alphin and my cousin swearing he was Canada's version of Jerry Rice


Dang man no love for Jeff Groth #86?

84 is definetly Eric Martin... but honorable mention for Michael lewis the Beerman! I was at Fedex when he brought back 2 returns!!

Best to rock the number as a Saint.

In the case of the NFL, there would be endless debate!

I would put former RB Derek Brown over Jay Bellamy for the #20. Brown played on some baaaad teams, but the kid was Dalton Hilliard lite. I loved that little guy, and he never gets any respekt! He wore #24 for a while too, and I'd put him there over Mack as well... so take your pick.. I still say replace Bellamy with him.

I remember him on Tecmo Bowl, Jim Everett handed off to him. I always found him to be a disappointing player, he never averaged more than 3.4 a carry in his career.

Very nice thread. I agree that Jeff Groth contributed more than Jake Reed, who was on the downside of his career.

Fun idea for a thread.

Boo Williams for #82 though.

Fields was a much, better lber than fujita. He didn't get much respect because fans thought he was going to be the, next rickey jackson. No one is going to live up to that.

Remember fields catching isaac bruce from behind? Remember fields meeting craig heyward in the hole and going the other way with the ball for six? Sacked Kerry Collins on his way to a handoff.

Joe Johnson was the best #94 hands down

Joe Johnson was the best #94 hands down

With out a doubt but in a few years. Hell even one year Cam Jordan will be the best #94. I have high hopes for Cam Jordan.

Guido Merkins #19.
Dude was a baller!
