The New Orleans Saints regular season begins only 25 days from now. The Saints open this year with a nationally televised game against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night football. Canal Street Chronicles continues our countdown to kickoff series today, with a look back at some of the New Orleans players who have worn the No. 25.
Johnnie Poe (CB, 1981-1987)
Poe not only made the Saints roster as a 6th round draft choice in 1981, but he also went on to start 15 of the team's games as a rookie. He started 73 consecutive games between 1982-86, as one of the leaders on a talented New Orleans defense through the mid-1980s.
