Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Saints belong to the National Football Conference (NFC) South division along with the Atlanta Falcons, the Carolina Panthers, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

During its franchise history, the New Orleans Saints have included seven Pro Football Hall of Fame players, including NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) winner Drew Brees. Other famous Saints players include Marques Colton, Rickey Jackson, Cameron Jordon, Archie Manning, and Willie Roaf.
