Number Two: Joe Horn

Joe Horn was the best wide receiver in New Orleans Saints history before Marques Colston shattered all of his records. Horn spent seven seasons with the Saints from 2000 through 2006 and was dominant during that stretch, being selected to four Pro Bowls.

Horn was the go-to guy for Aaron Brooks during his time in New Orleans and his numbers proved it.

Horn logged 523 receptions, 7,622 receiving yards, a 14.6 yards per reception average, 375 first downs, and 50 touchdowns. Horn also added a sense of swagger to a rather boring Saints team and really played a pivotal role in helping mold the Saints into the team they are today.

Joe Horn brought a lot more than his insane receiving ability to the Big Easy which is why he ranks second on the Saints’ all-time best wide receivers list.
