76 days until Saints season opener: Every player to wear No. 76 for New Orleans

The New Orleans Saints will kick off their 2023 regular season against the Tennessee Titans at home in the Caesars Superdome on Sept. 10, which is now 76 days away.

We’ll be counting down the days until kickoff by looking back on every Saints player who wore the corresponding jersey number.

Some of the biggest names to have worn No. 76 for the Saints include center Jonathan Goodwin (2006-2010) and defensive lineman Akiem Hicks (2012-2015), though more-seasoned fans may recall defensive tackle Dave Rowe (1967-1970) and offensive tackle Don Morrison (1971-1977) from the franchise’s early days. Here’s the full list from Pro Football Reference:
