With just 55 days until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2025 season against the Arizona Cardinals, defensive end Isaiah Foskey dons the No. 55 jersey, following a rich lineage of players who have worn it. Foskey seeks to carve his legacy into the franchise's history, as he's only the 25th player to wear that number since its inception. The history of No. 55 is storied, with notable names like Jackie Burkett, Mark Fields, and Scott Fujita contributing significantly during their tenures.

Burkett, the first to wear No. 55, played a pivotal role in the team's inaugural season, showcasing impressive defensive skills. He set a high standard, with Fields later becoming the most successful to wear the number, making a Pro Bowl and amassing significant career stats. Foskey aims to build upon this legacy, as the competition for spots heats up ahead of the new season.
