## Resource

Eighty-five days until the Saints hit the field, and they’ve just added Jalen Moreno-Cropper — the newest player to don the iconic number 85. After a standout UFL stint with the Houston Gamblers, he’s got a steep climb ahead to crack a stacked Saints receiving corps. But history’s on his side — from Ray Poage’s early days to Hall of Famer Henry Childs, Hoby Brenner’s record-setting tenure, and even Super Bowl champ David Thomas, number 85 has always meant big things. Now, Moreno-Cropper’s got the chance to join that legacy — and prove he’s the next chapter in Saints lore. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
