    A great, smart linebacker. He was going into med school and told scouts to ignore him in the draft. Instead Dick Nolan called him personally and asked if he would reconsider coming to the Saints. The Saints stole him with a 4th round pick. Bum Phillips, in one of his biggest mistakes, but him on waviers thinking teams would let him go. San Francisco scooped him up, and Kovach retired two years later. Bad mistake by Bum. Kovach loved being a Saint and being in New Orleans.
