After graduating from San Houston State University and spending two seasons as a special teams player for the Houston Oilers, Guido Merkens joined the New Orleans Saints in 1980. If starting 11 games at wide receiver for the Saints in 1981 wasn't enough, Merkens also spent time during his 5-year stint as a Saint playing quarterback, defensive back, punter, and kick returner. He also held kicks for Morten Anderson. A fan favorite in New Orleans, #19 was apt to electrify the Superdome each time he stepped on the field.
