History

Historical Context

In 1999, Saints coach Mike Ditka traded every draft pick to move up and select Ricky Williams with the fifth overall pick, a move that drew criticism and was followed by a hamstring-limited rookie season. The pattern reappeared in 2026 when eighth-overall rookie Jordyn Tyson missed the preseason after a hamstring strain on August 13, forcing New Orleans to lean on veterans like Chris Olave.
