Former Saints Terron Armstead and Mark Ingram II will be honored with induction, while Sal La Rock will receive the Joe Gemelli Fleur de Lis award. The celebration will be from November 6th through the 8th.
Armstead and La Rock will attend, while Ingram will not due to job obligations with Fox Sports.
The 37th annual Saints Hall of Fame Induction Luncheon will take place Friday, Nov. 6 at noon at Chateau Country Club, 3600 Chateau Blvd. in Kenner.
A service charge is applied to online purchases. The Saints Hall of Fame Gala, featuring food and drink from 20 restaurant and catering vendors, will take place Saturday, Nov. 7, from 4 p.m. 7 p.m., also at Chateau Country Club.
The event will include music, along with a host of New Orleans Saints alumni in attendance.
Armstead, a former 2013 third-round pick for the Saints, spent the nine years of his 12-year career in the NFL in the Big Easy. The former Arkansas Pine-Bluff Lion became a starting left tackle in his second season and went on to become a five-time Pro Bowler (3 with the Saints, 2 with the Dolphins). Armstead was a catalyst in helping keep Drew Brees upright in his final couple of seasons as the Saints sought a second Lombardi trophy ahead of Brees’ retirement.
Ingram II was selected in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Black and Gold and rose the ranks to become one of the greatest ball carriers in the franchise’s history. The former Alabama Crimson Tide running back spent 9 1/2 of his 12 seasons in New Orleans and carved out a feature role in the offense ahead of his second contract. Ingram II called it a career in 2022 and currently holds the second-most rushing attempts (1,451), rushing yards (6,500), and rushing touchdowns (52). The only player with more in those categories is Alvin Kamara.
