Former New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Jahri Evans has been named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025. A key figure in the Saints’ Super Bowl XLIV championship team, Evans’ selection highlights his remarkable NFL career and enduring impact on the game.
Drafted in the fourth round in 2006 out of Bloomsburg University, Evans quickly established himself as one of the league’s most dominant guards. Over his 12-year career, he earned six Pro Bowl selections, four First-Team All-Pro honors, and was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 2010s.
Known for his consistency and unmatched durability, Evans started 183 games for the Saints and became a cornerstone of an offensive line that protected Drew Brees and powered one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses.
This recognition solidifies Evans’ legacy as one of the best guards in NFL history, bringing him one step closer to the sport’s ultimate honor.
