We’re highlighting every New Orleans Saints player who has worn the No. 76 jersey as we count down the days to kickoff for the 2024 season. Week 1’s Saints-Panthers game is 76 days away, so that’s where we’re picking up our countdown.
The number currently belongs to Trajan Jeffcoat, an undrafted rookie who played college football at Arkansas and Missouri. The most notable player to wear No. 76 to most Saints fans might be Jonathan Goodwin, the starting center on the Super Bowl XLIV-winning team. But older fans might recall right tackle Don Morrison, who started 92 of his 94 games with the Saints in the 1970’s while protecting Archie Manning.
