25 reasons to get excited about Saints training camp, No. 21, 2006 draft class

The New Orleans Saints' 2006 draft class will go down as one of the top two in franchise history and one of the best in NFL history.

Three members from that stellar draft - Coach Sean Payton's first with the team - remain on the Saints' roster.

Right guard Jahri Evans (fourth round), right tackle Zach Strief (seventh round) and wide receiver Marques Colston (seventh round). Each player has made significant contributions to the most successful period in franchise history and Evans and Colston are the best players at their positions in franchise history.
