With 68 days remaining until the 2025 season opener, the New Orleans Saints are preparing to host the Arizona Cardinals. Under the helm of new head coach Kellen Moore, the Saints aim to bounce back from a disappointing 5-12 record in 2024. One potential standout in their ranks is undrafted rookie offensive lineman Torricelli Simpkins III, who aspires to make his mark by becoming the 18th player in franchise history to don the number 68 in a regular-season game.

Historically, the number 68 has seen many players, from Richard Winther, the first to wear it, to notable offensive linemen like Kyle Turley and Victor Riley. The Saints are hopeful that Simpkins can replicate the success of his predecessors and contribute to a turnaround season, solidifying the offensive line as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
