Through three weeks, the New Orleans Saints have several players who are on pace already to be selected for the 2021 NFL Pro Bowl.

The New Orleans Saints are not off to the start that the team or the fans hoped they’d be off to. Going into Week 4, we anticipated that the Saints would be a 3-0 team, but they are not a part of the group of undefeated teams.

The Saints have seen a hefty slide down the power rankings over the course of the last two weeks. After the Week 2 loss to the Raiders and the Week 3 loss to the Packers, New Orleans finds itself down ten places from where they started.

The black and gold have two groups of players — those playing above their par and those playing below it. The players that are playing below their par need to step it up and play at the level that everyone knows they can play at.

For the ones playing above their level, they need to continue to play that way. However, there is a separate group inside of the ones playing above their level that already look like they are on track to be first-team All-Pro and Pro-Bowl selections. Here are three of them.
