62 days until Saints' season opener: Every player to wear No. 62
While it belonged to center/guard Lucas Patrick last year, it's long been popular among centers and long snappers. Former Saints like John Hill, Jeff Uhlenhake, Jerry Fontenot, and Cameron Tom, among several others, have all worn it for the black and gold. Practice squad lineman Tommy Kraemer used it the year before last.

Chiefs 'Team To Bet Against' Prediction Turning Heads
Chiefs 'Team To Bet Against' Prediction Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If there is one team in the NFL that has earned the benefit of the doubt after a blowout loss in the Super Bowl, it's the Kansas City Chiefs. Advertisement After back-to-back titles, the Chiefs fell short of achieving a historic three-peat, and as such, many are now suggesting the dynasty is at an end; however, we aren't so quick to dismiss the current AFC champions. While from the outside, the Chiefs might have lost a little aura after the Philadelphia Eagles showed them a clean set of heels, they still possess some firepower that means come playoff time, some teams will want to avoid them. As such, The Athletic's Jacob Robinson thinks that while a regression might be coming, folks should write off the Chiefs at their own peril. "They might not win 15 regular-season games again, but Rashee Rice's return, their left tackle competition and overall focus on fixing the offensive line suggest to me that the combination of Reid, Mahomes and Spangoulo is one you still won't want to see come playoff time," Robinson writes. "Will Travis Kelce's likely last dance end in a Super Bowl? I'm skeptical, but this isn't a team to bet against." Advertisement Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick MahomesMark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Rashee Rice is back, Marquise Brown is back, and Travis Kelce will have a burning desire to prove that he still has juice in the tank. Those are three key weapons that should provide more for Patrick Mahomes and the offense. ... and we say this bunch is still going to be turning heads in 2025. Additionally, the addition of Elijah Mitchell and Brashard Smith will provide an injection of speed in the run game, complemented by the hopeful prospect that the offensive line can protect far better than it did last season. This combination gives reason to be optimistic about the Chiefs' prospects this season. For some, that isn't enough to allay fears that Kansas City might be about to fall off a cliff. Advertisement To that, we say, until we see if happen, it's as you were for Kansas City in the AFC.
