The New Orleans Saints are sending half a dozen players to the 2018 Pro Bowl.

Actually, let's hope that none of them make it to the Pro Bowl due to their obligations in this year's Super Bowl, but to get the nod as the best amongst their fellow NFL players at each of their respective positions is huge.

It's also record-breaking.

Amongst the players, rookie cornerback Marshon Lattimore is the youngest player to ever be named to the Pro Bowl. His fellow rookie teammate Alvin Kamara was also named to the Pro Bowl along with Mark Ingram to become the first running back tandem to make the Pro Bowl since 1975.

Along with Marshon Lattimore, Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram the Saints are sending quarterback Drew Brees, wide receiver Michael Thomas and defensive end Cameron Jordan.

Congrats to the Black & Gold for the recognition and hopefully, you never see the Pro Bowl field due to preparation for the Super Bowl.
