Retired New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma lent his voice to a hype video for the team’s playoff game with the Chicago Bears.

Jonathan Vilma made a tremendous turn from standout play at linebacker to offering color commentary from the broadcast booth, but the New Orleans Saints legend is still close to the team that put him under the spotlight — so much so that he lent his time to the Saints for a highlight video ahead of their playoffs debut.

So take the opportunity to get hyped up for a Wild-Card Round matchup with the Chicago Bears. While the Saints have gotten plenty of revenge on Chicago for handing Sean Payton his first playoffs loss as New Orleans’ head coach over the years, returning the favor with a postseason elimination would be a nice new entry to their shared history.

And, hey. If the Saints win on Sunday, they’ll host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a third time this season in the Divisional Round. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves.
