NFL CAREER – After bouncing back from a season-ending knee injury suffered during training camp in 2005, Stinchcomb developed into a key part of the Saints’ resurgence last season, starting all 16 games and both playoff contests at right tackle. With Jammal Brown moving to left tackle, Stinchcomb took over on the right side and gave the club bookends on the offensive front. Entering the offseason as an Unrestricted Free Agent, his re-signing was considered vital, and Stinchcomb inked a two-year deal in early March. Known for his character, intelligence and maturity, he was one of the top linemen available in the 2003 NFL Draft, when he was selected 37th overall by New Orleans. He has appeared in 26 games in his NFL career, with 16 starts.
