New Orleans Saints Review

When you’re talking about the greatest player to ever wear a Saints uniform, Willie Roaf has got to be at the top of your list.  #77 was perhaps the most dominant offensive lineman of his generation.  But with his humble manner, you’d never know it.

After a great college career at Louisiana Tech (during which he was nominated for the prestigious Outland Trophy), Roaf was the Saints’ 1st round pick  (8th overall) back in 1993 under coach Jim Mora.  He was an immediate star and made an incredible 7 Pro Bowls in 9 seasons with the Saints.  He was named to the NFL’s All Decade team for the 1990s.  After the 2001 season, he was traded to Kansas City and made the Pro Bowl in each of his 4 seasons as a Chief.  He retired from after the 2005 season.  He may very well become the first player ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a Saint.

I had the great honor of speaking to Willie Roaf and, as you’ll hear, he is a genuine man who truly enjoys the game of football.  He shared some wonderful stories from his career and also praised the 2009 edition of the Saints.  I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed speaking to Willie!
