The New Orleans Saints are entering an interesting season, as it’ll be the first year without Drew Brees as their quarterback. If the Saints want any chance of being competitive and potentially winning the NFC South, they need their team to stay healthy.

Losing any of their star players would practically be a death sentence in a season as unique as this one, so it’s important for these six players to stay healthy and contribute at a high level in 2021.
