Joe Horn<\/a> caught 523 passes for 7,622 yards and 50 touchdowns during a standout, flamboyant, seven-year career with the New Orleans Saints.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame reeled in “Hollywood,” as Horn was announced as a member of the Class of 2026.<\/p>\n

The four-time Pro Bowler, a Saint from 2000-06 who was inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame in 2010, is one of nine LSHOF inductees in ’26.<\/p>\n

He joins LSU women’s basketball player and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Sylvia Fowles, a four-time USA Olympic gold medalist; LSU men’s basketball coach John Brady, who won 190 games in 10 seasons and led LSU to three regular-season SEC championships and to a Final Four run in 2006; Louisiana-Lafayette catcher Jonathan Lucroy, a two-time All-Star in his 12-year major league baseball career; LSU center Todd McCLure, who crafted a 14-year NFL career and is a member of the Falcons Ring of Honor; Northwestern State men’s basketball coach Mike McConathy, who won 682 games as a college coach; prep girls basketball coach Dewain Strother, the second-winningest high school girls basketball coach who won five state titles at Florien High; Bills and Vikings defensive tackle Pat Williams, a three-time Pro Bowler; and LSU baseball star Warren Morris, who was inducted as a contributor (Louisiana Sports Ambassador).<\/p>\n

Horn’s flash matched his substance in New Orleans: He left as the franchise all-time leader in touchdown receptions, a total that later was surpassed by Marques Colston (72) and Jimmy Graham (55). He and Colston share the team record with 28 100-yard receiving games and at the time of his departure as a free agent, he was second in franchise history in receptions and receiving yards.<\/p>\n

Overall, Horn posted four 1000-yard seasons and from 2000-04 \u2013 when he was a Pro Bowler from 2000-02 and ’04 \u2013 he averaged 87 catches for 1,258 yards and nine touchdowns.<\/p>\n

In his 12-year career, he totaled 603 catches for 8,744 yards and 58 touchdowns in 163 games for the Chiefs (1996-99), Saints and Falcons (2007).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Horn caught 523 passes for 7,622 yards and 50 touchdowns during a standout, flamboyant, seven-year career with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357148,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2076],"tags":[7,28234,81,896,55,2572,2571,3051,6,397,25689],"class_list":{"0":"post-357147","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-orleans-saints","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-joe-horn","10":"tag-latest-news","11":"tag-new-orleans","12":"tag-new-orleans-saints","13":"tag-neworleans","14":"tag-neworleanssaints","15":"tag-news-john-deshazier","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-saints","18":"tag-saints-legends"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115180701399884465","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357147\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
