There are 23 days to go until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 regular season with the Carolina Panthers, and we're continuing our countdown by looking back at all of the players who have worn No. 23 in team history.
These days it belongs to Marshon Lattimore, arguably the most talented player on the team and a four-time Pro Bowler at cornerback. Before he picked up No. 23 it was best known as belonging to Pierre Thomas, a Super Bowl champion and fan-favorite at running back for the better part of a decade.
