Saints Highlight Historic Long Kick Return Touchdowns

As the New Orleans Saints approach their 2025 season opener against the Arizona Cardinals, a countdown series highlights memorable plays and player achievements from the team's history and recent seasons. Former Saints players Patrick Robinson, Aaron Craver, Mel Gray, and Eric Guliford are celebrated for their impressive long kick and interception return touchdowns, which set franchise records later surpassed by Alvin Kamara's 106-yard kick return in 2017. Kamara remains a key figure in the Saints' rushing attack, leading the team in carries and multiple 100-yard rushing games during the 2024 season despite injuries and offensive struggles. Wide receivers Chris Olave and Marquez Valdes-Scantling led the receiving corps with the most 100-yard games last year, amidst a generally underperforming passing attack due to injuries. These reflections provide fans with a blend of historical highlights and recent player performances as the team prepares to start a new era under coach Kellen Moore.
