Thanks to readers for tip on Saints WR Colston

Readers have spoken, and I thank them.

I had seen clips of Saints wide receiver Marques Colston but didn't realize the monster season he was having.

Talk about value. Colston was the Saints' seventh-round draft pick, the 252nd overall, from Hofstra. As a senior, the 6-4, 231-pound Colston had 70 receptions for 975 yards and nine touchdowns. This season, he has 44 receptions for 700 yards and seven touchdowns, one from 86 yards.

I'm also looking at Saints quarterback for Drew Brees for comeback player of the year. He suffered a torn labrum in his right (throwing) shoulder in the season finale against Denver.

I remember stories leading up to the draft that the Bengals really loved this kid (WR coach, I think). Once Bennie Brazell was picked, the only choice would be as an UDFA pickup. I'm surprised that he gets enough separation given his size and mediocre 40 time.
