Hurst recognizes that the OL “underperformed” in 2023.

After announcing his retirement on Wednesday, former New Orleans Saints offensive lineman James Hurst sat down with NOF.com to share his thoughts on retirement and the state of the New Orleans offensive line.

Even with many questions surrounding the future of the line, Hurst was confident about the unit’s talent heading in 2024.

A look back at the best and worst picks New Orleans has made in history

1st Round

Best: Cameron Jordan - DE, 2011

It’s such a glaring need that even Daniel Jeremiah, an NFL Network draft expert, said on X “find me a team that has a bigger need than the Saints at OT.”
