Back again to our all-time Saints team. Today we're going to take a look at the memorable fullbacks in Saints history. Below is a list of players I've researched and deemed worthy of inclusion in our discussion of great Saints fullbacks. I have only nominated two players in part because I don't know too much about past fullbacks and also in part because I wasn't sure the others I was considering were really worthy. I figured the best thing to do would be to let you all nominate anyone else you feel is deserving.
The poll will open at 6am Central tomorrow morning and will be open for exactly 48 hours, ending on Friday, June 26th.
I now open it up for any other nominations or players that you just can't believe I missed. There very well may be a glaring omission. Talk it out in the comment section. I would also love to hear some personal rumination from our readers who've actually watched these guys plays.
