Marques Colston says goodbye and thanks to Saints

I once read a comment from Brees where he stated that Colston could read a defense better than most QB's. It seemed that he and Brees were always on the same page. The rare combination of size, hands and intellect meshed with Payton's high IQ offense and made Colston great.

Gonna miss him.

That explains how Colston excelled so well in finding holes in the zone.
