Answer: Washington Redskins

In 1999, the Saints traded all but one of their draft picks to the Redskins so that they could move higher in the draft, and select Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams from the University of Texas. The Redskins in turn traded most of those picks to the Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos. Williams had a disappointing and short career with the Saints and was traded to the Miami Dolphins.

He shocked the NFL world with his sudden retirement announcement, just before the start of the 2004 season.

10. Which of these players was not a member of the Saints' dominating linebacker core of the late 80s/early 90s?

Answer: Gene Atkins

The Saints had arguably the best set of linebackers in NFL history in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The main four linebackers making up that unit were: Sam Mills, a Saint from (1986-1994), Vaughan Johnson (1986-1993), Pat Swilling (1986-1992), and Rickey Jackson (1981-1993). Gene Atkins was a safety for the team from (1987-1993). Jackson was the Saints' leader in quarterback sacks in the 20th century.
