Saints Countdown To Kickoff With The History Of Number 97
Saints Countdown To Kickoff With The History Of Number 97 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New Orleans Saints are only 97 days away from the official start to their 59th NFL season. On September 7, the Saints will host the Arizona Cardinals in their 2025-26 regular season opener. Advertisement Sporting uniform number 97 for the Saints this year is defensive tackle Khristian Boyd, who is in his second season with the team and in the league. Here's a look back at the other players that have worn 97 during a regular season game for the Saints.

Credit: The first to wear 97 in Saints history was Geathers, an underrated pass rusher for one of the league's outstanding defenses in the 1980s. Geathers had 26 sacks in his six years with New Orleans, including 21.5 in his first three years. Advertisement New Orleans selected Turnbull in the first round of the 1990 NFL Draft. He had 9 sacks as a pass rush specialist in his first season, then succeeded the iconic Pat Swilling after a trade three years later in 1993. Turnbull had a team-high 13 sacks that season to earn a Pro Bowl berth, but never had the same fearsome impact of Swilling. In seven years with New Orleans, the longest to wear 97 in team history, Turnbull totaled 44.5 sacks and forced 9 fumbles.

Mandatory Credit: Peter Brouillet-USA TODAY NETWORK Glover joined New Orleans in 1997 and would be a key cog in one of the NFL's most disruptive defensive lines. In his five years with the Saints, he had 50 sacks, including an NFL-best 17 in 2000 that ties him with Swilling for the single season franchise record. Advertisement Over his last three seasons with New Orleans, Glover had an eye-popping 42 tackles for loss. Glover was inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame in 2013. The sixth overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, Sullivan is considered one of the biggest draft busts in franchise history. He played only three seasons for the Saints before being completely out of the league. In that disappointing span, he had only 1.5 sacks and 5 stops for loss. New Orleans Saints defensive tackle La'Roi Glover (97) pressures Carolina Panthers quarterback Kerry Collins (12). Credit: After Geathers, Turnbull, and Glover, the Saints had little success with the number 97. Charleston, Foster, and Edwards all had decent stints but were unable to significantly develop. Muhammad is the forgotten member of the Saints outstanding 2017 draft class. He spent only one year with the team before having success in other stops. Advertisement Roach was a nice undrafted addition in 2020. In his four years with the team he didn't fill up a stat sheet. However, he was a solid rotational player and extremely underrated run defender. After Roach departed, the Saints plummeted to an abysmal 31st against the run last season. Now in his second year with the team, Boyd will need to showcase his interior power to improve that rush defense if he hopes to make the squad.

21-year-old arrested in connection with shooting that killed teen near The Domain
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A second person was arrested and charged in connection with the death of a 17-year-old, which police say happened as a result of a drug deal turned attempted robbery in a parking garage near The Domain last year, according to police and court documents. Carlos Sotelo, 17, died in December 2024, at a hospital after he was shot during what police called an attempted robbery in the parking garage of a north Austin apartment complex. 17-year-old dead after being shot in apartment parking garage near The Domain Joseph Geathers, 21, was charged with capital murder by terror threat/other felony in connection to Sotelo's death, according to a Travis County arrest warrant affidavit. KXAN is working to reach out to an attorney representing Geathers to request commentary on the charge. We will update this story if we receive a response. Dedric Verse, 18, was previously arrested and charged with capital murder in connection with the shooting. Details about his arrest can be found in previous KXAN coverage here. Drug deal leads to teen's death after shooting in parking garage near The Domain, affidavit says The shooting happened in the early morning hours of Dec. 13, 2024, in the parking garage of the Griffis at The Domain apartments, located at 3210 Esperanza Crossing, according to police. Sotelo was in the passenger side of a vehicle when he was shot, and the driver took him to Saint David's North Austin Medical Center after. Austin Police Department officers responded to a 911 call from a hospital security guard, who said Sotelo arrived at the hospital in a private vehicle. APD's investigation found that Sotelo and other people were in a vehicle in the parking garage when multiple suspects approached the victims and attempted to rob them at gunpoint, and when the driver of the vehicle tried to flee, the suspects fired into the vehicle, hitting Sotelo. The affidavit said two suspects fled the scene and got in a white 2024 Toyota Corolla, which was parked outside the garage with its lights off with a driver waiting inside. Through surveillance video, social media, and text message records, APD identified Geathers as the 'getaway' driver of the Corolla, according to the affidavit. Geathers told police he didn't know that a robbery was going to happen and that he thought they were just purchasing marijuana, however, police found text messages that indicated Geathers was aware of a planned robbery, according to the affidavit. Geathers was booked into the Travis County Jail on Feb. 13 and is being held on a $750,000 bond, according to online jail records. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
