For the sixth consecutive offseason, we're ranking the New Orleans Saints' top players; this year it'll be their top 20. We'll publish a new player each weekday as we inch closer to training camp.
Eight players from last year's list are no longer on this year's list: No. 4 Brandin Cooks, No. 9 Stephone Anthony, No. 10 Keenan Lewis, No. 11 Coby Fleener, No. 16 James Laurinaitis, No. 17 Jairus Byrd, No. 19 Tim Hightower, No. 20 Thomas Morstead.
This year's list brought a unique challenge with a 40 percent turnover from the 2016 top 20 rankings.
