73 days until Saints season opener: Every player to wear No. 73 for New Orleans

The New Orleans Saints will kick off their 2023 regular season against the Tennessee Titans at home in the Caesars Superdome on Sept. 10, which is now 73 days away. We’ll be counting down the days until kickoff by looking back on every Saints player who wore the corresponding jersey number.

In other words, it’s Jahri Evans Day. The six-time Pro Bowl right guard earned a spot on the Hall of Fame’s All-2010s Team as well as four spots on the All-Pro first team, and it’s led to some strong arguments in his favor now that he’s eligible for Hall of Fame induction. He’s by far the biggest name to ever wear No. 73 for the Saints, but here’s the full list from Pro Football Reference:
