It’s finally here: New Orleans Saints training camp will kick off in just a few days, and there’s a lot to catch up on. You already know big names like Chase Young and Taliese Fuaga have joined the team. But there are dozens of new faces and jersey numbers on the roster who weren’t on the team last year. Some veteran players have changed numbers, too, like nose tackle Khalen Saunders (going from No. 99 to 50) and punter Lou Hedley (switching to No. 15 after wearing No. 39 last season).
It’s a lot to catch up on. Here are all of the new additions and jersey numbers at Saints training camp we know so far:
