#12 "The Quiet Storm", Marques Colston
In the 2006 NFL Draft the Saints selected Colston out of Hofstra in the 7th round and the 252nd overall pick. Originally it looked as if Colston wouldn't make the team b/c he couldn't catch a pass early on during OTA's. Eventually, he settled in quite nicely in showing great promise in pre-season games and helped lead to Coach Payton's decision to trade Donte' Stallworth to the Eagles. He finished his rookie season with 70 catches, 1,038 yards, and 8 touchdowns. His career totals to date are 449 catches, 6,240 yards, and 48 touchdowns. Not too shabby for a 7th round draft pick.
