LT Jermon Bushrod - A 2007 fourth round draft pick,this promising young lineman helped spur the NFL’ssixth ranked running game in 2009. The Towson prod-uct has continued adding strength and working on tech-nique as he continues to line up against many of theNFL’s elite pass rushers in his second season starting.

LG Carl Nicks - This 6-5, 343 pound mauler who wasa 2008 fifth-round draft choice, needed very little time tomake a smooth transition to life in the NFL trenches.Selected for All-Rookie honors by several publications,Nicks has opened every contest since the fourth of hisfirst year and combines with Jahri Evans for one of theNFL’s top young interior combinations.

C Jonathan Goodwin - Goodwin took the starting reinsof the club’s center position in 2008 and has distin-guished himself in pass protection, run blocking andmaking line calls, opening 42 games in the middle ofthe line as a Saint. He’s coming off a standout 2009campaign where he was recognized with a Pro Bowlselection for the first time in his nine-year NFL career.

RG Jahri Evans - The 2006 fourth round draft choicehas made a rapid ascent from his small school roots atBloomsburg into one of the NFL’s top right guards.Evans was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2009 as astarter, elected a starter. His 75 straight starts with theSaints is the longest streak in team history among of-fensive linemen to begin a career and tied with linemateand RT Jon Stinchcomb as the most by a currentSaint. Evans’ streak of consecutive starts to begin a ca-reer is ranked third overall among all players in Saintsrecord books.

Sean Payton has taken the NewOrleans Saints to success that ithas not experienced before,leading the team to a 31-17 vic-tory over the Indianapolis Coltsin Super Bowl XLIV.Payton finished his fourth sea-son with a 13-3 record and hissecond NFC South title, settingteam records for wins, longestwinning streak (13) and divisiontitles (2). As the Saints started off with a13-0 start, the best beginningsince the franchise existed, Pay-ton’s squad scored a club record510 points, the ninth-highest sin-gle-season total in NFL history.While the offense was rankedfirst for the second consecutiveyear and third time in four sea-sons, Payton oversaw a significant change in theSaints defense with the hiring of new coordinatorGregg Williams. This feisty unit scored a league-lead-ing eight defensive touchdowns.Payton has instilled a winning culture, stressing theprinciples of responsibility, character and accountabil-ity. He’s built the roster and put together a staff deep inteachers of the fundamentals. In 2008, the Saints ranked No. 1 in the NFL in total of-fense for only the second time – duplicating the featoriginally achieved in 2006, Payton’s first season withthe team. With Payton serving as play-caller, last sea-son, the Saints set club records for total yards (6,571),net passing yardage (4,977) and first downs (354).In 2007, the Saints endured injuries and a slow start,but put together a four-game winning streak. New Or-leans finished ranked No. 4 in the NFL in total offense,holding nine opponents to 17 points or fewer.Payton scrapped the traditional timetable for rebuild-ing an NFL club in 2006. In his opening season as ahead coach, the Saints jumped out to a 3-0 record-afirst in team history for a first-year black and goldcoach,equaling the team’s win total from the previousyear-and clinched the NFC South title before the sea-son finale. New Orleans led the NFL in total offenseand played in the NFC Championship for the first time.

When the season came to a close, Payton wasvoted NFL Coach of the Year by the AP, Pro FootballWeekly/PFWA, Sporting News and the Maxwell Club.

Payton was hired as the 14th head coach in Saintshistory on January 18, 2006 after being a member ofthe Dallas Cowboys coaching staff since 2003. He en-ters his 13th NFL season and 21st overall in coaching.

Prior to his last season in Dal-las, he was promoted to asst.head coach/passing game co-ordinator and was responsibleor the team’s play-calling. Forthe previous two years, heserved as the club’s assistanthead coach/quarterbacks.In 2005, the Cowboys tied forsecond in the NFC with 318first downs. When Payton ar-rived, Dallas had ranked 31st inpassing the previous year, butimmediately improved to 17th.Payton arrived in Dallas afterfour years with the New YorkGiants, the last three as offen-sive coordinator after spendinghis first as quarterbacks coach.He solidified his reputation asone of the NFL’s top offensive

minds in 2000. In his first season as coordinator, theGiants won the NFC title and played in Super BowlXXXV. They scored 328 points – their highest totalsince 1990 – finished 13th in the NFL in total offense.Payton was first assigned play-calling duties prior to acontest on Dec. 5, 1999. The Giants responded byscoring a season-high 41 points and gaining 490 yardsof offense. He retained that assignment over the finalfive games. The Giants passing attack continually im-proved, ranking 13th in the NFL in 2000, tied for eighthin 2001 and ranked sixth in 2002. In 2002, the Giantsfinished sixth overall in total offense, the team’s high-est ranking since 1985. In the decade prior to his ar-rival, they hadn’t ranked above 20th. Prior to joiningthe Giants, he spent 1997 and 1998 as Philadelphia’squarterbacks coach. Payton wrapped two coaching stints at San Diego St.(1988-89 and 1992-93) around a stop at Indiana St.During his second stretch with the Aztecs, he was run-ning backs coach, working with Heisman runner-upMarshall Faulk before becoming quarterbacks coach.Following the 1993 season, Payton moved to Miami ofOhio (1994-95). He spent 1996 as quarterbacks coachat the University of Illinois before entering the NFL.Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in communicationsat Eastern Illinois, where he passed for 10,665 yards,then the third-highest total in NCAA Division I-AA his-tory.
