The New Orleans Saints should again reign supreme in the NFC South, but it could easily be the league’s best division in 2020.

There is a new layer of optimism surrounding the NFC South after a jam-packed offseason where some of the NFL’s best talent all joined forces in one division. The Saints are still the favorite to win the division though.

The NFC South has a combined 16 players who played in the 2020 Pro Bowl returning to the division for the upcoming season. The level of talent the NFC South could be the most talented division in NFL history and is undoubtedly the best in 2020.

With the addition of Tom Brady to the division, the Saints may actually have competition at the top. However, Brady has taken a noticeable step back and may not be the first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback he once was.

In a division with three future Hall of Fame quarterbacks (Matt Ryan, Drew Brees and Tom Brady) and a revived career from the other (Teddy Bridgewater), there is sure to be a photo finish in the NFC South in 2020.

That said, here are three bold predictions for the division in 2020.
