Khalen Saunders eager to debut his ‘immaculate’ new Saints jersey number

It’s always good to see a player excited to wear black and gold, and Khalen Saunders was eager to announce his New Orleans Saints jersey number. The big free agent pickup from the Kansas City Chiefs shared that he’ll continue to wear No. 99, which he used in two Chiefs Super Bowl victories as well as in college at Western Illinois.

Saunders also wore No. 10 in high school while listed at fullback, but we’re guessing that isn’t in the cards for 2023.

The Saints’ No. 99 jersey was last used by defensive tackle Shy Tuttle, who Saunders is replacing in the lineup for New Orleans. Tuttle left town for a free agent contract with the division-rival Carolina Panthers so fans will continue to see a lot of him in that annual two-game series. Let’s hope Saunders continues to do No. 99 proud.
