I've been following the Saints since a kid in the 70s watching the likes of Archie Manning and Tommy Myers.
We may not have as grandiose a history as some NFL teams, but there are scores of memories the New Orleans Saints have given to their fans and I have done my best to record them here at New Orleans Saints History.

Sam Mills joined the New Orleans Saints in 1986 to become one the 4 All-Pro linebackers of the heralded Dome Patrol. Mills played 8 seasons with the Saints and will always be remembered by fans. Here is a portrait of him painted by New Orleans Artist Bob Graham.
Who remembers Pig Goff? A solid back-up defensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints in the 90s. Here is picture of him putting pressure on Steeler Quarterback Bubby Brister in the 1990 game against Pittsburgh in the Super Dome.
