When you mention Bobby Hebert's name, the word "championship" usually follows. Hebert, who was born Aug. 19, 1960 in Cut Off, led the South Lafourche High School Tarpon football team to the state 4A championship in 1977. He led the Michigan Panthers to the United States Football League championship in 1983, and the Oakland Invaders to the championship game in 1985. He led the New Orleans Saints to its first playoff appearance in 1987.
Hebert was a multi-sport athlete at South Lafourche High School, playing football and basketball. He was quarterback for Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La. The Michigan Panthers in the new United States Football League selected Hebert in the third round of the 1983 draft, the 34th pick overall. He signed with the Panthers on Jan. 22, 1983.
He had a distinguished career with the new league. He set the USFL's record for most touchdowns in a game with 5 on June 26, 1983, against Chicago. He led the Panthers to the chamionship in 1983, was named MVP of the championship game and selected the USFL's Quarterback of the Year, Sporting News Player of the Year, and quarterback on The Sporting News' USFL all-star team. In 1983, he was 257-451 for 3,568 yards with 27 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. 1984 didn't produce a championship year for Hebert but he was still able to go 272-500 for 3,758 yards with 24 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. In 1985, with the league foundering, the Panthers and Oakland Invaders mergered with Hebert as quarterback. He was 244 of 456 for 3,811 yards, with 30 touchdowns and 19 interceptions in leading Oakland to the title game. He was granted his unconditional release on July 15, 1985, and signed with the New Orleans Saints on Aug. 7, 1985.
The Cajun Cannon had come home. Or so it seemed. Hebert played seven seasons with his hometown team, helping to bring the Saints its first winning season and its first berth in the playoffs as a wildcard in 1987. His early tenure with the Saints was marred by injury. He sat out two months of the 1986 season with a broken foot. His later term with the Saints would be controversial. He sat out the 1990 season in a contract dispute. His feud with Coach Jim Mora eventually led to his unconditional release on March 1, 1993. He signed with cross-league rival Atlanta on April 21, 1993 and had one of his better years, topping it off with an appearance in the NFL Pro Bowl. He stayed with Atlanta in a back-up role until the end of the 1996 season. He says he's still ready to play if anyone needs him. Hebert was named to the Saints Hall of Fame in 1999 and inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2000.
