I wish more players were like him and didn't go the diva route.

The "GREAT" Marques Colston.

Crazy he was never voted to a Pro Bowl. One could argue he excelled in the era of Larry Fitz & Mega tron but still ...

The Pro Bowl has become a joke.

I've only ever owned two Saints Jerseys (because they're stupid expensive): Brees and Colston. I want to buy another one, but I only buy high character guy's stuff. lol

I've worn the same Brees jersey since the 2006 preseason game against Dallas in Shreveport. It is now retired, as well. Wanting to get a Ramczyk jersey now.

My first Saints live viewing experience was a pre-season game in KC and watching Colston dominate the game! GOAT 7th round pick, or at least way up there!

Seldom you see a player like Marques Colston come along. Whoever came up with his nickname "Quiet Storm" sure got it right..

The player that comes to mind when I think of Colston is Jerry Rice. Obviously Rice was better, but both played with all their best every down for the sake of the game and their team. Both played with a chip on the shoulder but without the WR Diva chip up their butt. Both were outstanding players. One of my favorite non-saints off-field memories is Rice going after Owens in the locker room and calling him out for showboating after a niners game.

Thomas should be taking notes.
