    OK, jersey trivia (and I fact checked)
    Name the only players ever to wear #0 and #00 for the Saints.
    Of the numbers 1-99, what number has been worn by the most Saints players (the number is not in use on the current roster)? What number has been used the least?

    00 was Kenny Burrough, wide receiver, he was seriously injured landing on his head and neck after going up high for a catch. He was traded to the Oilers and had a pretty good career there.

    I think bay is right about Ken Burroughs wearing 00. I have no idea who wore 0. These are just total guesses, but I'd say the number worn the most is probably an offensive or defensive lineman's number. Its either in the 70s or 90s. I'm going to say 99. The number worn the least is probably a single digit number. I'm going to go with 1 as the least. Can't remember anyone through the years, kicker or not, with no. 1.

    00 Kenny Burroughs is current. All other answers incorrect, though you are on the right track about a single digit number.

    It's not 1, 2 was Aaron Brooks, so no one really wants that number. 3 was Bobby and probably a couple of place kickers throughout history. 4 was Steve Walsh. Again, another number nobody really wants. 5 Heath Shuler. 6, I don't remember anyone wearing 6. 7 - I don't know the most known person to wear it, but I'm sure its pretty common. 8 was Archie, and 9 is Drew. I'm gonna go with 6. I just don't remember anyone wearing that number. If it's not 6, then 2.

    What about the most worn? Can you give me a hint?

    Actually, the least worn is #8.....Archie, and only Archie. The most worn is #86, by 31 different players.

    #0, from the '60s was worn by Obert Logan.

    Ah, I should have known Archie. It's retired now and no one had it before or after him. Never would have guessed the other 2. I have no idea who Obert Logan is. :-D

    He's the only guy to ever wear #0 for the Saints. Other than that......

    Of the 31 starting QBs in Saints history, only six were drafted higher than Drew Brees (not counting the supplemental draft). Who were the six?

    hint: all six were drafted in the 1st Round (#2, #3, #3, #5, #6 and #11 overall)
