Saints legends vie for Hall of Fame glory, while a rookie battles for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Demario Davis shines for community impact.
Tonight, the 15th annual NFL Honors presented by Invisalign will be held at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, and for several former and current members of the New Orleans Saints, it could be a pretty huge night.
Former Saints quarterback Drew Brees and guard Jahri Evans are both finalists for the 2026 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This is Brees' first year of eligibility and Evans' fourth. He was a semi-finalist in 2023 and a finalist in both 2024 and 2025.
Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough is one of the five finalists for the Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year. Shough was recognized alongside Giants Quarterback Jaxson Dart, Patriots Running Back TreVeyon Henderson, Panthers Wide Receiver Tetairoa McMillan, and Buccaneers Wide Receiver Emeka Egbuka. Earlier today, it was announced that Shough won the fan-voted Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Year Award.
For the third time since signing with the Saints in 2018, linebacker Demario Davis was chosen as the team's nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award presented by Nationwide for his outstanding contributions to the New Orleans community. Davis was selected as the club's nominee in 2020 and 2022.
The primetime awards show, which debuted in 2012, recognizes those standout performances and achievements on and off the field from the 2025 NFL season.
Tonight's NFL Honors will be hosted by Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor Jon Hamm and will air at 8 p.m. CT on NBC and the NFL Network and stream on Peacock and NFL+.
