Far & away, the best RB to ever don the black & gold. Once he smelled endzone, there was no denying him 6 pts. The thing about Deuce is that not only was he exceptional on the field.....he was one of the most outgoing & friendly athletes I've ever met. My 12 yr. old will still tell you his favorite Saint of all time was Deuce because he always talked to him.
And as for the "work ethic" comment......I don't know of anyone who would agree with that. Deuce isn't playing because of injury......not bad work ethic. |

I'm shocked that anyone who's followed Deuce's career doesn't know that. |

Whatever you want to call it, the bottom line is that if he had been more dedicated to working out, he probably could have lasted a lot longer than he did. How about... he had a bad "work-out ethic"? |

I hope he would return to the Saints in a staff role some day... |

I miss him too. He lives here in Madison, Ms. Or at least is here alot. My wife and I saw him a few weeks ago while we were out to dinner at AJ's. Not my favorite place in town but for some reason alot of people go there. As does Deuce. All that aside, He is NOT in football shape. I miss him also and told him so but he added that he feels the game has passed him by and he bought me a shot. He's just done. He is just living life right now and trying to hang on to whatever cash he has left which I don't think is much.
