THE MATCHUP After a 30-27 loss at the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night at M&T Bank Stadium, the New Orleans Saints (0-1) will host the New England Patriots (0-1) on Saturday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to open their 2015 home pre-season slate.

New Orleans and New England will be familiar with each other by kickoff on Saturday after they are scheduled to participate in joint practices at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, W.V. on Wednesday and Thursday. The two clubs have participated in joint practices in 2010 and 2012 and have faced each other in in 10 exhibitions all-time, with New England leading the series, 6-4. The two clubs last met at Gillette Stadium on October 13, 2013 with the Patriots stealing a dramatic come-from-behind 30-27 victory.

New Orleans looks to rebound from Thursday’s loss at Baltimore, while New England fell to the Green Bay Pack-ers at home on Thursday.

While the Saints struggled initially against Baltimore, trailing 17-10 early in the second quarter, New Orleans finally got on the scoreboard midway through the period, when WR Brandin Cooks caught a pass from WR Luke McCown and eluded several defenders for a 28-yard touchdown.

Trailing 20-14at the start of the third quarter, K Zach Hocker drilled 47- and 50-yard field goals to tie the score early in the fourth quarter. Later trailing 23-20 late in the fourth quarter, rookie RB Marcus Murphy took a pitch for a three-yard touchdown to help the Saints take a 27-23 lead.

Baltimore barely escaped following a touchdown with two seconds left. The game featured several notable individual performances by numerous Saints looking to earn a roster spot.

Saints signal callers completed 64.1% of their passes altogether on the evening. McCown completed seven-of-10 throws for 75 yards with the scoring pass and a 125.0 passer rating. Ryan Griffin executed on 10-of-17 throws for 112 yards, including a 21-yard toss to RB Khiry Robinson. Rookie Garrett Grayson in his NFL playing debut, complet-ed eight-of-12 throws.

Six Saints combined for 100 yards on 23 carries com-bined. Khiry Robinson carried twice for 35 yards, in addi-tion to recording three receptions for 37 yards.

In addition to Cooks and Robinson, TE Josh Hill paced the passing game with three receptions for a club-high 40 yards, including a 25-yard grab. WR Willie Snead also had two catches for 30 yards.

Defensively, LB Ramon Humber led New Orleans with eight tackles (six solo) and also added one special teams stop. CBs Terrence Frederick and Damian Swann, both competing for roster spots in the Saints secondary, each recorded one interception, with the picks leading to 10 points for the club.

There were other bright spots on special teams in addi-tion to Hocker’s two long field goals. All six kickoffs by Hocker and K Dustin Hopkins, competing for the placekick-ing spot, sailed into the end zone for touchbacks. Murphy also gave the kickoff return unit a spark, bringing back five kickoffs for 132 yards in the contest.

THE COACHES

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton has posted a 80-48 regular season record and a 6-4 post-season mark, guiding the team to the postseason five times, to the NFC Championship game twice and the Su-per Bowl XLIV Championship. He’s the club’s lone head coach to open a season with 13 straight victories and post a 13-game winning streak and has the franchise’s top win-ning percentage (.623). Payton’s 43-21 (.672) home record and 37-27 (.578) mark away from the Mercedes-Benz Su-perdome are the club’s top winning percentages in both categories. In his first season in 2006, he took the Saints to the NFC Championship game and was named NFL Coach of the Year by most major outlets. The Saints are the only team to finish in the top ten in net yards per game each season since 2006, including finishing first in 2014 for the fifth time during that period. Payton was hired as New Orleans’ 14th head coach on Jan. 18, 2006, after serving on the Dallas Cowboys staff from 2003-05. Prior to joining the Cowboys, Payton served on the New York Giants staff from 1999-2002, including the final three seasons as offen-sive coordinator. His tenure was highlighted by a Super Bowl berth in his first full season as coordinator. Payton’s prior NFL coaching experience came as quarterbacks coach for Philadelphia from 1997-98.

New England head coach Bill Belichick is in his 16th season as the head coach of the Patriots. He is the only head coach in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in four years, and has also delivered six conference titles, 12 divisions crowns and 22 playoff victories to the Patriots while delivering a career coaching record of 233-118. He is in his 41st season as an NFL coach and was hired by New England on January 27, 2000. In 2007, Belichick led the Patriots to the NFL’s first 16-0 regular season and is the only head coach in NFL history to win at least 13 regular-season games in five separate seasons. Belichick has led the Patriots to a winning record in each of the last 14 sea-sons, the second longest stretch by a coach with one fran-chise (Tom Landry, 16 years, Cowboys, 1970-85). In 2014, he guided the Patriots to a 12-4 record, a division title and the Super Bowl XLIX championshp.

SERIES HISTORY

New England has dominated the regular season series, 9-4, including a stretch where the Patriots won the first five games between the two clubs. New Orleans post-ed three-straight victories from 1989-95 – all on the road. The Saints broke a three-game losing streak with a 38-17 win over the Patriots on Monday, November 30, 2009, when they improved their record to 11-0. In the preseason, the Patriots lead the series 6-4.

ROSTER ROLL CALL

Of the 90 players on the current Saints roster, 49 were on the active roster, a reserve list or the practice squad at the end of the 2014 season. Among newcomers, the roster includes two trades, seven unrestricted free agents, nine veteran free agents, nine draft picks and 14 rookie free agents.

Of the 90 players, 56 have less than four years of previous NFL experience, including eight players who are in their first training camp. The following is a breakdown of New Orleans’ roster by years of experience (year entering): 15 years-1, 13 years-1, 11 years-1,12 years-2, 10 years-4, 9 years-1, 8 years-3, 7 years-7, 6 years-6, 5 years-5, 4 years-3, 3 years-10, 2 years-13, 1 year-10, rookies-22.

HIGHER EDUCATION

65 colleges and universities are represented on the Saints’ 90-man roster. Of that total, 18 are represented by multiple Saints, five from the University of Georgia, three from Clemson, Oregon State and Stanford and two apiece from the University of Alabama, the University of Arkansas, Flor-ida State, Fresno State, North Texas, Northwestern, Ore-gon, Purdue, Rutgers, the University of Tennessee, Val-dosta State, Virginia Tech, the University of Washington and West Texas A&M.

MY HOMETOWN

Saints players come from 30 different states, Washington D.C. and Germany. Of the 90 currently on the team’s sea-son-ending active roster, the state which claims the most members of the team is Texas with 12 (quarterbacks Drew Brees and Luke McCown, long snapper Justin Drescher,

cornerback Terrence Frederick, linebacker David Haw-thorne, kicker Dustin Hopkins, tackle Antonio Johnson, guard Cyril Lemon, defensive tackle Ashaad Mabry, run-ning back/return specialist Marcus Murphy, punter Thomas Morstead, fullback Toben Opurum, running back Khiry Robinson and safety Kenny Vaccaro).

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

A spot on the practice squad is another avenue to eventu-ally get onto the active roster and have the opportunity to contribute. The Saints had 12 players on their final 2014 53-man roster who moved up to their 53-man roster after be-ing on NFL practice squads, 11 who spent time on the Saints practice roster before being promoted. Below is an overview of players on the training camp roster with exten-sive practice squad experience.

Running back Edwin Baker has played in six career games with two starts for New Orleans and the Cleveland Browns, carrying 44 times for 173 yards with two touchdowns and posting eight receptions for 57 yards. He’s also been on the Saints, San Diego Chargers, Denver Broncos and Hou-ston Texans practice squads. Spending the start of the 2015 offseason working at a mortgage originator to obtain management experience, Baker returns to New Orleans in 2015 to compete for a roster spot on offense and special teams.

Tackle Nick Becton played at Virginia Tech from 2009-12. After the 2013 NFL Draft he was signed by the San Diego Chargers for whom he alternated between their practice squad and active roster, appearing in one regular season game. After spending the first two months of the 2014 sea-son on the New York Giants practice squad, Becton was signed to the Saints active roster in Week 10 to provide depth at both tackle positions.

Wide Receiver Brandon Coleman was signed by New Orle-ans out of Rutgers following the 2014 NFL Draft. Recording five receptions for 50 yards in the preseason, Coleman spent the majority of the regular season on the practice squad. As a reward for his hard work in both enhancing his body and technique and providing solid looks on the scout team for the club’s defense, the 6-foot-6, 225-pound wideout was signed to the active roster for the 2014 regular season finale. Fully recovered from a nagging injury suf-fered as a redshirt junior in 2013, Coleman has taken ad-vantage of his large frame and participation in his first full offseason strength and conditioning program to compete for a roster spot in 2015 training camp.

Linebacker Jerry Franklin’s appeared in 20 NFL contests for the Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs and has record-ed one solo tackle and 11 special teams stops. Franklin has also participated on the practice squads of the Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs and Saints. After being signed to the Saints practice roster at midseason in 2014, he was signed to the active roster for the season finale.

Cornerback Terrence Frederick has had tenures on the practice squads of the Saints, Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants. Originally a seventh round draft pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers out of Texas A&M in 2012, he first played in two games for the Giants in 2012 and posted two special teams stops. He was first signed by New Orleans off the Browns practice squad for the 2013 regular season fina-le and the playoffs and spent most of the 2014 season on the New Orleans practice roster before being elevated to the active roster in Week 12. Frederick started the last three games and recorded 17 tackles (14 solo).

Quarterback Ryan Griffin was originally signed as an un-drafted free agent out of Tulane in 2013. The Green Wave standout was elevated from the practice squad at midsea-son of his rookie year and served as the club’s third quarter-back. In the 2014 preseason, Griffin completed 44-of-78 passes (62.3%) for 530 yards with three touchdowns and a 90.3 passer rating. He spent the first 16 weeks on the team’s practice squad before being activated for the season finale. In 2015, he is expected to compete for the club’s backup signal-caller position behind starter Drew Brees with Luke McCown and Garrett Grayson.

Tackle Bryce Harris started his NFL career on the Falcons practice squad for the start of the 2012 season, before be-ing signed to the New Orleans active roster in Week two. In three seasons, he’s played in 34 games with two starts at right tackle and two at left tackle. Harris filled in at both left and right tackle in 2014 as the top backup off the bench on the outside behind Terron Armstead and Zach Strief, start-ing the last two contests at left tackle.

Kicker Dustin Hopkins, who departed Florida State as the NCAA’s career scoring leader among kickers used a two week stint on the practice squad at the end of the 2014 sea-son. In training camp, he will compete with Zach Hocker for placekicking duties in 2015.

A college teammate of defensive tackle tackle Lawrence Virgil at Valdosta State, wide receiver Seantavius Jones

was signed by New Orleans after the 2014 NFL Draft. After recording three receptions for 17 yards with a TD in the pre-season, the 6-3, 200-pound wideout snared a spot on the practice squad and was promoted to the active roster in Week 15.

After spending the majority of the 2013 season on the Saints practice squad, fullback Austin Johnson handled lead blocking duties for the first seven games of the 2014 cam-paign and also rushed for 22 yards, caught two passes for 15 yards with one touchdown and added four special teams tackles. Johnson and Erik Lorig are competing for lead blocking duties in the 2015 preseason.

Guard/center Senio Kelemete participated on the Saints practice squad in 2013 after spending 2012 on the Arizona Cardinals active roster. Through development, the lineman who can play either center, guard or tackle snagged a roster spot with the Saints based on his training camp play and appeared in 10 games in reserve and special teams duty.

Lorig spent two weeks of his rookie season on the Tampa Bay practice squad, after being selected in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL draft out of Stanford, converting from a defensive end, before being elevated to their active roster and serving as their lead blocker from 2010-13. He handled lead blocking duties in 10 games with seven starts in 2014 for the Black and Gold, making three rushes for four yards, nine receptions for 24 yards with one touchdown and block-ing for Mark Ingram in four 100-yard rushing games.

A 5-9, 165 pound wide receiver, Jalen Saunders came to New Orleans from the Seattle practice squad after originally being selected by the New York Jets in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma. Vs. Carolina, Dec. 7, he had 30– and 32-yard punt returns, providing a spark to the club’s return game. Saunders then opened up the con-test vs. Atlanta, Dec. 21 with a 99-yard kickoff return.

Signed as an free agent by New Orleans out of Valdosta State in 2014, Virgil earned a practice squad spot based on his performance in in the preseason, where he recorded a sack. Virgil was elevated to the active roster in Week 13 and provided depth on the interior.

Joining New Orleans as an free agent out of Jacksonville State in 2014, safety Pierre Warren posted 10 tackles, an interception, two passes defensed and a special teams stop in the preseason. Following stints on the Saints and Vikings practice squads, Warren was signed to the New Orleans active roster in Week 12 and in his debut vs. Baltimore, Nov. 24, made an immediate impact when he forced a fum-ble at the Saints one-yard line which he recovered. At Chi-cago, Dec. 15, Warren posted his first two interceptions. He opened all six games he played in and posted 35 tackles, two picks, four passes defensed, one forced fumble and a recovery, tying for the team lead with three takeaways.

BUCKING THE ODDS

Players whose names are not called in the NFL Draft each spring often face challenging odds in sticking on a team, with every snap or drill in OTAs, minicamps and training camp under evaluation. Yet the final 2014 53-man roster featured 23 undrafted players who bucked the odds, 12 of whom started at least one contest for the Black and Gold, as well as the club’s long snapper and placekicker. Undraft-ed players on the current training camp roster with NFL experience include Becton, CB Brandon Browner, S Rafael Bush, Coleman, CB Brian Dixon, LS Justin Drescher, LB Kasim Edebali, LB Dannell Ellerbe, Franklin, Griffin, LB David Hawthorne, TE Josh Hill, LB Ramon Humber, Jones, C Tim Lelito, RB Khiry Robinson, Virgil and Warren.

The 6-4, 221-pound Browner burst on the scene in Seattle in 2011 after four seasons in the Canadian Football League and made six picks, two returned for a touchdown and earned a Pro Bowl berth in his first NFL campaign. Origi-nally signed by Denver undrafted out of Oregon State in 2005, Browner signed with New Orleans as an unrestricted free agent in the offseason after picking up Super Bowl rings as starter for Seattle and New England in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

Signed as an undrafted free agent by Atlanta in 2010 after a standout career at South Carolina state, Bush was ac-quired off of waivers from the Denver Broncos at the start of the 2012 season, following stints on both the active ros-ters and practice squads of the Atlanta Falcons and the Broncos. The Williston, South Carolina native has played in 45 career games with 13 starts and has recorded 132 ca-reer tackles (83 solo), one interception, 10 passes de-fensed, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 23 spe-cial teams stops and one special teams fumble recovery. In 2014, Bush appeared in 10 games with seven starts and and made a career-high 73 tackles (45 solo), three passes defensed and one special teams stop before suffering a season-ending ankle injury which he has fully recovered from.

Signed out of Northwest Missouri State, the speedy Dixon also showed true grit during the 2014 preseason as he beat out several veterans for a roster spot based on a per-formance where he posted seven tackles (five solo), one interception, two passes defensed and one special teams stop, joining Kasim Edebali as one of only two undrafted rookies in 2014 on the club’s opening day active roster. He finished the season tied for third on the Saints special teams units with 12 coverage stops and added eight solo tackles, one pass defensed and one forced fumble on de-fense.

Signed as an undafted free agent out of the University of

Colorado in 2010 by the Atlanta Falcons and picked up by New Orleans at midseason, Drescher has since flawlessly handled long-snapping duties for 70 consecutive games for the Saints.

A Hamburg, Germany native who started playing football in middle school prior to further developing his skills in prep school in New Hampshire, Edebali was signed by New Or-leans following the 2014 NFL Draft out of Boston College and earned a roster spot after posting six tackles and two sacks in the preseason and then added 18 defensive stops (11 solo), two sacks, one forced fumble and 12 special teams tackles to tie for third on the club. In the club’s win against Green Bay, October 26, 2014, Edebali enjoyed a breakout performance with three solo tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble.

Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Baltimore Ravens out of the University of Georgia in 2009, Ellerbe has played on both the interior and the outside for the Ravens and Mi-ami Dolphins, appearing in 62 games with 30 starts, post-ing career totals of 293 tackles (210 solo), 6.5 sacks, three interceptions, 12 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, 18 special teams stops and one coverage forced fumble. Ellerbe was acquired by New Orleans in the offseason from Miami in a trade at the start of the free agency period and will compete to crack the starting lineup either on the inside or outside after missing most of the 2014 campaign with a hip injury.

First signed as an undrafted free agent out of Texas Chris-tian in 2008 by Seattle, Hawthorne has appeared in 100 career games with 78 starts, posting 619 tackles (390 so-lo), 12 sacks, eight interceptions, 21 passes defensed, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. In 2014, de-spite missing three contests, Hawthorne again ranked among the club’s defensive leaders with 112 tackles (65 solo), three sacks, one interception and six passes de-fensed. The most established veteran in the linebacker corps, Hawthorne will again lend his helping hand to the youthful group in 2015.

A 2013 undrafted signing by New Orleans out of Idaho State, Hill has appeared in 30 career games with six starts and posted 20 receptions for 220 yards (11.0 avg.) with six touchdowns and 18 special teams tackles. In 2014, Hill posted 14 grabs for 176 yards (13.4 avg.) with five touch-downs and 15 special teams stops to rank first on the team. In 2015, Hill and Benjamin Watson will combine as a tan-dem to handle the tight end position. Hill picked up where he left off in 2014 in the 2015 preseason opener at Balti-more, August 13, picking up three receptions for a team-high 40 yards.

BUCKING THE ODDS - CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

First joining Indianapolis in 2009 out of North Dakota State, Humber has appeared in 78 career games with 14 starts and posted 122 tackles (84 solo), 2.5 sacks, three passes defensed and a forced fumble, excelling on special teams, where he has posted 66 career stops. Voted one of the club’s two special teams captains for 2014, Humber ap-peared in 15 games with six starts, posting a career-high 51 tackles (42 solo), one pass defensed, one sack and 13 special teams stops.

Signed as a free agent out of Grand Valley State in 2013, Lelito secured a roster spot with his performance in training camp and has started two games at right guard while ap-pearing in 32 regular season contests and two playoff games, serving as club’s top interior lineman backup at both center and guard. In 2014, he saw extensive action at center in substitute for an injured Jonathan Goodwin, in-cluding starting two games, where Ingram had rushed for at least 100 yards in consecutive contests.

Signed out of West Texas A&M, Robinson earned a roster spot in 2013 and ranked third on the club in rushing with 54 carries for 224 yards (4.1 avg.) with one touchdown and in the postseason, added 102 more yards (4.9 avg.) with one touchdown and a 13-yard reception. In 2014, he finished second on the club in rushing with 76 carries for 362 yards (4.8 avg.) with three touchdowns and eight receptions for 63 yards.

RESURGENT RUN GAME

After ranking 25th in the National Football League in rush-ing in 2013, a renewed emphasis on the run game in 2014 helped New Orleans improve in the league rankings to 13th, averaging 113.6 yards per game while ranking ninth in the league in yards per rush, averaging 4.48 yards per carry, an improvement from 26th in 2013. The rushing at-tack was led by running back Mark Ingram, who carried 226 times for 964 yards (4.3 avg.) with nine touchdowns, ranking 14th in the NFL in rushing and tied for third in rush-ing touchdowns, earning the first Pro Bowl selection of his four-year NFL career. In 2015, Ingram, who was re-signed to a four-year contract by the Saints, is expected to form a trio with Khiry Robinson and unrestricted free agent acqui-sition C.J. Spiller, who was also inked to a four-year deal. Robinson finished second in rushing for New Orleans in 2014, playing in 10 games with three starts and carrying 78 times for 362 yards (4.8 avg.) and three touchdowns.

Ahead is a synopsis of several returning players and new-comers through the draft, free agency and trade to the 2015 Saints offensive line:

Right Tackle Zach Strief - This 2006 seventh round pick out of Northwestern has appeared in 125 regular season games with 61 starts and played in 10 postseason con-tests, four of which he has opened. Re-signed to a five-year contract in 2014, the two-time offensive team captain once again anchored the right side of the offensive line for the NFL’s top-ranked offense and opened all 16 contests for the first time in his nine-year NFL career.

Right Guard Jahri Evans - The 2006 fourth round draft choice made a rapid ascent from his small school roots at Bloomsburg into one of the NFL’s top interior linemen and the top guard in team history. Evans’s been named to six consecutive Pro Bowls since 2009, as well as being named an Associated Press first-team All-Pro from 2009-12 and a second-team selection in 2013. Overall, Evans has started 142 contests at right guard for New Orleans. He opened up

all 16 contests for the NFL’s top-ranked offense in 2014 and was selected to his sixth Pro Bowl.

Center Max Unger - This six-year NFL veteran was ac-quired by New Orleans in the offseason from the Seattle Seahawks to solidify the middle of the New Orleans offen-sive line. Originally a second round draft pick of the Sea-hawks in 2009, Unger has opened all 67 games he has played in for one of the National Football League’s most physical and productive running attacks at both center and right guard, earning Pro Bowl selections in 2012 and 2013.

Left Guard Tim Lelito - Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Grand Valley State in 2013, this lineman proved the jump was not too big from Division II to the NFL as he’s started two games at right guard and substituted at center in weeks three, five, seven and 14 as a substitute and starting for him in two others, where Pro Bowl running back Mark Ingram reached 100 yards rushing both times. In 2015, Lelito will compete for the starting left guard posi-tion in training camp, possessing the ability to play at all three interior spots.

Left Tackle Terron Armstead - The club’s first third round draft choice in 2013 out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Armstead impressed scouts by running the fastest 40-yard dash time (4.71) by an offensive lineman in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine. Overall, Armstead has opened up 16 regular season games and two postseason contests at left tackle for New Orleans, including the first 14 contests of 2014 for a rushing offense that was ranked ninth in the NFL through Week 15.

Tackle Bryce Harris - Harris started his NFL career on the Atlanta practice squad in 2012, before being signed to the Saints active roster following Week one. In three sea-sons with New Orleans, he has appeared in 34 regular sea-son games with two starts at right tackle and two at left tackle. Harris saw action at both left tackle and right tackle in 2014, including starting the final two contests on the left side, appearing in all 16 games.

Tackle Andrus Peat - A first round selection (13th over-all) in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Stanford, Peat was consid-ered one of the top college offensive linemen in 2014. In his final season in Palo Alto as a junior, Peat started all 13 games at left tackle for the Cardinal, anchoring the left side of an offensive line ranked 18th nationally in fewest tackles for loss allowed (4.62/game) and 42nd in fewest sacks al-lowed (1.77/game) as he blocked for a rushing offense that averaged 158.8 yards per game on the ground. Peat, who has started his NFL career at right tackle, was named a first-team All-American by ESPN.com, The Sporting News and SI.com and received second-team honors from the Associated Press. Peat made his NFL debut at Baltimore on Thursday night, seeing a team-high 51 snaps on the New Orleans offensive line at both tackle positions.

• Under the guidance of Special Teams Coordinator Greg McMahon, entering his 10th season on the New Orle-ans coaching staff and his eighth as coordinator in 2015, the Saints were once again among league leaders in sev-eral statistical categories in 2014.

• New Orleans was ranked first in the National Football League in opponent punt return average (4.1) in 2014 while facing several of the league’s top returners on their sched-ule. Leading the way on the club’s kickoff and punt cover-age units was TE Josh Hill who led the Saints with 15 spe-cial teams tackles. Special teams captain LB Ramon Hum-ber was also a significant contributor to this group with 13 special teams stops.

• P Thomas Morstead, another weapon in the field position game for New Orleans was ranked second in the NFL in net punting average (42.9).

• Rookie WR Jalen Saunders injected life into the club’s kickoff and punt return games in 2014. The return specialist who was originally a fourth round draft pick of the New York Jets was signed to the New Orleans active roster off the Seattle practice squad in Week 12. Vs. Atlanta, Dec. 21, on the game's opening kickoff and his first career kickoff re-turn, Saunders brought it back 99-yards for the longest non-touchdown kickoff return in franchise history. Vs. Carolina, Dec. 7, Saunders returned three punts for 68 yards, includ-ing a 32-yard runback that was the longest by a Saints re-turner since 2012. In 2015, Saunders, WR Brandin Cooks, RB/RS Marcus Murphy and RB C.J. Spiller will all compete in the preseason to handle kickoff and punt return duties for the Saints.

DREW BREES

• Since first signing with the Saints as an unrestricted free agent in 2006 from San Diego, Brees has thrown for 4,000 or more yards in his first nine seasons with the club, be-came the only quarterback to throw for 5,000 yards in four different seasons, set the league single-season yardage record in 2011 (broken by Peyton Manning in 2013) and ranked at or near the top in every passing category, both in single-seasons and over the nine-year period as a member of the Saints, breaking nearly every club record.

• In 2014, Brees once again enjoyed another standout season as the Saints’ signal-caller, as he has completed 456-of-659 passes (69.2%) for 4,952 yards, 33 touchdown passes, 17 interceptions and a 97.0 passer rating. He fin-ished the season ranked first in the National Football League in both completions and attempts, tied for first in passing yardage, ranked second in completion percentage, tied for fifth in touchdown passes and ranked sixth in passer rating.

• Few players in the modern day free agency era have made the impact that Brees has on the Saints, who is con-sidered one of the most productive free agent signings in league history. Since 2006, he leads the National Football League with 43,685 passing yards, 316 touchdown passes, 5,649 attempts, 3,812 completions, a 67.5% completion percentage, 80 games with at least 300 yards passing, 11 with at least 400 yards passing, 331 completions of 25 yards or more and stands at fourth in the league with a 98.8 rating.

• Brees has been selected to play in a club-record eight Pro Bowls as a member of the Saints including 2014, with nine overall berths in the National Football League’s all-star game, twice as the conference’s starting signal-caller. Brees is the only Saints quarterback to be selected to the All-Star game more than twice. His seven consecutive se-lections as a member of the Saints is tied for first in club record books with Pro Football Hall of Fame tackle William Roaf

• Brees has posted an 87-56 regular season record in con-tests he’s started since signing with the Saints in 2006. In-cluding his six playoff victories, he’s recorded 93 total wins in a Saints uniform, making him the winningest quarter-back in franchise history. Overall, Brees’ win total as a member of the Saints ranks fourth among National Football League signal-callers since first arriving in New Orleans in 2006.

• In his 14-year National Football League career where he’s appeared in 202 games, the last nine seasons which have taken place with the Saints, Brees has completed 4,937-of-7,458 passes (66.2%) for 56,033 yards, 396 touchdown throws and a 95.4 passer rating.

MARK INGRAM

• A hard-nosed runner who punishes opposing defenses with a combination of power and speed, the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner was chosen with a first round pick in 2011. Ingram’s been an integral part of the rushing attack, lead-ing the club in rushing twice. In his first full season as the club’s featured back in 2014, he appeared in 13 games and carried 226 times for 964 yards (4.3 avg.) with nine touch-downs, setting career-highs in rushing yardage and rushing touchdowns. Ingram also added a career-high 29 recep-tions for 145 yards. Ingram was the first Saints running back to be selected to the Pro Bowl since 2003 (Deuce McAllister). He finished 14th in the NFL in rushing despite missing three games, tied for third in rushing TDs and ranked 31st with a career-high and team best 1,109 total

yards from scrimmage. Ingram’s 74.2 rushing yards per game ranked seventh in the league. He also became the first Saint to have four 100-yard rushing games in a single season since McAllister in 2006.

Here is how Mark Ingram ranked in several league catego-ries in 2014 despite missing three games (hand):

MARQUES COLSTON

• Since being picked as the 252nd overall choice in the seventh round of the 2006 NFL Draft out of Hofstra, Col-ston’s become one of the league’s top targets and the club’s all-time leading wideout in virtually every category.

P THOMAS MORSTEAD

• Morstead, the club’s fifth round draft pick in 2009, was among the nation’s top punters at Southern Methodist Uni-versity and has continued that trend in his five seasons in a Saints uniform where he’s posted a career club-best 47.0 gross and 41.0 net punting averages. In addition to being a weapon in the field position game as a punter, Morstead is also a threat to pin teams back on kickoffs. In six seasons, 242 of his 510 kickoffs have sailed into the end zone for touchbacks.

• In 2014, Morstead posted a 46.1 gross punting average and a 42.9 net average, ranked first in the NFC and second in the NFL, eighth all-time. A testament to his punting and the coverage units, opponents have only managed an av-erage of 4.1 yards per return, the lowest total in the NFL. 40 of his 81 kickoffs went into the end zone for touchbacks.
