Saints Edge Rusher Wears Historic No 54 | New Orleans Saints News

The Saints are set to open their season on the road against the Lions in 54 days, and a new face is stepping into the spotlight—edge rusher Anfernee Jennings, donning the iconic number 54. A free agent from New England, Jennings aims to carve his niche behind veterans Cam Jordan and Chase Young, while also potentially playing off-ball linebacker. The number 54, historically worn by linebackers and a few offensive players, has seen 13 different Saints don it since Darrin Smith’s record-setting tenure. Jennings joins a storied legacy, hoping to make his mark as the 27th player to wear the number in franchise history.
