## Resource

Sixty-eight days until the Saints hit the field, and the spotlight’s on rookie Torricelli Simpkins, the latest to don the iconic number. Once worn by 18 players — including Hall of Famer Kyle Turley and the only defensive player, Richard Neal — the number’s legacy is steep. Simpkins, who flashed promise as an undrafted rookie last year, now faces a brutal battle to secure his roster spot and keep the number. With training camp heating up and the season opener just around the corner, can he rise to the challenge and carry on the tradition?
