There are 65 days to go until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2025 season with the Arizona Cardinals, so we’re looking back at every player to wear No. 65 for the black and gold. Two-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman LeCharles Bentley used it with the Saints, as did his predecessor Steve Trapilo.
It was notably worn by Senio Kelemete, a key utility man on the mid-2010s Saints teams who lined up all over the offensive line. But it’s been out of circulation for a few years now, and it currently is not used by an active player on the roster.
