The Madden 21 New Orleans Saints Theme is absolutely loaded and there is still the ability for some of these guys to get better cards as the season goes on.

Following the unfortunate injury of Drew Brees in Week 10, where he suffered broken ribs and a collapsed lung, it is time to give Saints fans something to lift their spirits. This Madden 21 Theme Team was created by MightyWings on MutHead.

Saints Theme Team Madden 21

Offense

Up front, the Saints have one of the best offensive lines out of any of the theme teams we have looked at thus far. Led by 93 OVR Ryan Ramczyk and 90 OVR Jahri Evans on the right side, it is going to be tough to get through that line. They also have an 86 OVR center and 87 left-tackle to formulate the most formidable offensive line in the game.

For wide receivers and tight ends, the Saints are again in the top echelon. A 92 OVR Jimmy Graham and 90 OVR Jared Cook make up the tight ends. Usual theme team member 93 OVR Andre Johnson is on this squad with 91 OVR Brandin Cooks and 89 OVR Michael Thomas. The Michael Thomas 89 OVR is a card that is expected to be upgraded if the Saints continue to roll through the season.

In the backfield is another usual theme team member, 93 OVR Barry Sanders. Behind him in the depth chart is 92 OVR Reggie Bush and then last but definitely not least is 90 OVR Alvin Kamara.

An 86 OVR Drew Brees leads the way at quarterback. With his injury, it is unsure when Brees will return or be able to get a new card in the game so players might be stuck with the 86 OVR for awhile. However, with the endless weapons on this Saints offense, there is no excuse to come away with empty possessions.

Defense

The Saints' defense has its ups and downs. Let's start with the defensive line. 91 OVR Cam Jordan leads the way followed by 88 OVR Sheldon Rankins and 80 OVR Marcus Davenport. That is a solid group outside of the Davenport card.

The linebacking group is the best in Madden 21. 96 OVR Sam Mills, 93 OVR Rickey Jackson, and 91 Demario Davis come together to make an insane trio. Running slants with these three guys lurking would be a big mistake. Players will also have to worry about sitting back in the pocket for too long because one of these three guys will definitely bust through the opposing offensive line.

The secondary here is an area for opposing offenses to take advantage. The 90 OVR Kenny Vaccaro is a solid SS, but the 82 OVR Marcus Williams is going to get crushed by teams with great wide receivers. It is a very similar situation with the cornerbacks. A 92 OVR Tracy Porter is great, but a 83 Marshon Lattimore, and 73 OVR P.J. Williams is going to get you embarrassed down field.

Overall, this is one of the best Madden Theme Teams out right now. Saints fans need to be patient and hope that some of these secondary members can earn a better MUT card to help prevent the long ball. Outside of that area of weakness, this team is definitely going to put up some points.
