On NBCSN's Pro Football Talk they did the "Mount Rushmore" of all-time greatest, for each franchise, players/coaches/owners. For the Saints.... Archie Manning, Drew Brees, Sean Payton, and ....[drum roll ]...Willie Roaf. Ya gotta luv it!

Love Willie Roaf but it should have been Deuce.
I would have left Payton off and replace with one of the others mentioned above. That's just an opinion.
I would assume Bradshaw would be on the Steelers monument. Not bad for a school the size of La Tech to have two.
Love Deuce. Have a jersey of his, bought it at a charity auction. He wore it vs. Tampa Bay, road game, it's white; all kinds of strange stains on it . As for Deuce, one of the best at picking up tough yards. 3rd and 2 or 3rd and 3, give it to Deuce....First down! All Saints fans love Deuce. Okay, drop Payton and add DM to our Mt. Rushmore. Works for me.
The actual four picked were Landry, Staubach, Smith, Aikman. Should have been Lilly instead of Aikman, though. Hard to ignore the all-time leading rusher, but Bob Lilly was Mr. Cowboy. He's about even with Staubach.
It is a tough set of choices -- that leaves off Randy White, Dorsett, Larry Allen, Jimmy Johnson, Tex Schram, even Michael Irvin, Bob Hayes and Drew Pearson.
