The New Orleans Saints are preparing for their 2025 NFL season under new head coach Kellen Moore, with just 85 days until their opener against the Arizona Cardinals. This marks the franchise's 59th season, and they will have Dallin Holker, a second-year tight end, wearing the historically significant number 85. Throughout the Saints' history, 15 players have donned this jersey, predominantly tight ends, with notable names like Ernie Conwell and Wesley Walls making significant contributions to the team.

With 13 out of the 15 players being tight ends, this position has a strong legacy in New Orleans. Holker joins the ranks of past greats, highlighting the importance of the position in the Saints' offense. The franchise looks to build on this tradition as they embark on a new chapter with fresh leadership and aspirations for success.
