Joe Horn caught 523 passes for 7,622 yards and 50 touchdowns during a standout, flamboyant, seven-year career with the New Orleans Saints.
Wednesday, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame reeled in "Hollywood," as Horn was announced as a member of the Class of 2026.
The four-time Pro Bowler, a Saint from 2000-06 who was inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame in 2010, is one of nine LSHOF inductees in '26.
He joins LSU women's basketball player and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Sylvia Fowles, a four-time USA Olympic gold medalist; LSU men's basketball coach John Brady, who won 190 games in 10 seasons and led LSU to three regular-season SEC championships and to a Final Four run in 2006; Louisiana-Lafayette catcher Jonathan Lucroy, a two-time All-Star in his 12-year major league baseball career; LSU center Todd McCLure, who crafted a 14-year NFL career and is a member of the Falcons Ring of Honor; Northwestern State men's basketball coach Mike McConathy, who won 682 games as a college coach; prep girls basketball coach Dewain Strother, the second-winningest high school girls basketball coach who won five state titles at Florien High; Bills and Vikings defensive tackle Pat Williams, a three-time Pro Bowler; and LSU baseball star Warren Morris, who was inducted as a contributor (Louisiana Sports Ambassador).
Horn's flash matched his substance in New Orleans: He left as the franchise all-time leader in touchdown receptions, a total that later was surpassed by Marques Colston (72) and Jimmy Graham (55). He and Colston share the team record with 28 100-yard receiving games and at the time of his departure as a free agent, he was second in franchise history in receptions and receiving yards.
Overall, Horn posted four 1000-yard seasons and from 2000-04 – when he was a Pro Bowler from 2000-02 and '04 – he averaged 87 catches for 1,258 yards and nine touchdowns.
In his 12-year career, he totaled 603 catches for 8,744 yards and 58 touchdowns in 163 games for the Chiefs (1996-99), Saints and Falcons (2007).
