4 New Orleans Saints players with the best Hall of Fame chances someday

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is a place for players whose legacy is cemented as an all-time great. The New Orleans Saints have multiple players on their current roster who have a real possibility of making it to Canton after they retire. Here are four current Saints with the best chance to make the Hall of Fame.

Demario Davis

Demario Davis has made himself known as one of the premier linebackers ever since joining the league. In his illustrious 13-year career, he has been named First-Team All-Pro once, and Second-Team All-Pro four times. He is also a two-time pro bowler. 

Davis has tallied 1,347 career tackles which ranks him third among all active players. He has also amassed 106 tackles for loss and 43.5 sacks. These numbers alone should qualify Davis for the Hall of Fame, however, they aren’t even the most impressive thing about his game. Demario Davis has an uncanny ability to stay healthy as he has played in 206 career games, only missing two total.

Demario Davis’ longevity combined with his elite play make him an obvious future candidate for the Hall of Fame.

Cameron Jordan

Cameron Jordan has been consistently one of the top pass rushers in the league after being selected by New Orleans in 2011. Jordan is an eight-time Pro Bowl nominee, a two-time Second-Team All-Pro, and a one-time First-Team All-Pro player.

Part of the reason Jordan’s been so productive is his ability to stay on the field. In his 14-year career, he has only missed one career game. Due to Jordan’s ability to be healthy, he has racked up some impressive stats. Since 2011, he has 118.5 sacks (second among active players), 700 tackles, and 154 tackles for loss (fourth among active players). 

Cameron Jordan is regarded as a one of the top edge rushers in his generation, so he should be put in the Hall of Fame and solidified as one of the all time greats.

Alvin Kamara

Alvin Kamara has taken the NFL by storm after entering the league in 2017. He was the 2017 Offensive Rookie of the Year, is a five-time Pro Bowl nominee, and a two-time All-Pro Second-Team selection. In addition to this, Kamara holds the Saints all-time leading rushing yards and touchdowns records.

In just seven years of play, Kamara has accounted for 6,767 rushing yards, 4,704 receiving yards, and 84 total touchdowns. He has had over 1,000 scrimmage yards in every season he’s been in the league. Just to put the cherry on top, Kamara is tied for the most touchdowns ever scored in a game, with six. It’s rare for a running back to have so much success so quickly yet Kamara has done that.

Although Alvin Kamara is the youngest person on this list, he is more than deserving of making the Hall of Fame. He’s already known as a Saints great but should be known as a league great, being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Tyrann Mathieu

The New Orleans native has been one of the best ball-hawks in the league for 12 seasons. He has three All-Pro First-Team appearances, is a three-time Pro-Bowl player, and is a Super Bowl Champion.

Tyrann Mathieu is tied for the most interceptions by active players with 36. He has been terrorizing quarterbacks ever since being drafted in 2013. Besides just being a ball-hawk, Mathieu has made plays in the run game, achieving 45 tackles for loss in his career.

Mathieu is always highlighted on opposing teams scouting reports as someone who they shouldn’t target. His accomplishments and elite play make him a strong contender for the Hall of Fame.
