The New Orleans Saints have one of the toughest schedules in the NFL this upcoming season which means they are going to play some tough quarterbacks.

The New Orleans Saints’ future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Drew Brees is in what might be his last season as a New Orleans Saint, and he is tasked with one of the hardest single-season schedules that he has ever had.

While the Saints have a great quarterback of their own, the tough teams they are set to play in 2020 have quarterbacks of comparison for themselves. For example, last season when the 49ers played the Saints in 2019, it was an offensive shootout.

Between the Saints and the Niners in that game, there was a total of 733 passing yards. That is a huge amount for a single game, but the ability to watch Brees face off against Jimmy Garropolo was one of the best from last season.

This season, I have a feeling that the Saints are going to be in multiple games of that caliber, and Brees is going to have to step up to the plate against these quarterbacks. Research shows, these five quarterbacks will be the toughest the Saints will face in 2020.

Honorable Mention

Let’s start with a quick mention of the quarterbacks that just didn’t make the cut. Coming in at No. 7 is former Saints quarterback now Carolina Panthers starter Teddy Bridgewater. No. 6 just didn’t make the cut into the top five but easily could have is Tampa Bay Buccaneer, Tom Brady.

That brings us to our top five.
