As I have volunteered to be the publicist for Marques Colston, the New Orleans Saints' rookie wide receiver, I think it my duty to inform you of yet another stellar game by this fine young man. Here are some of his highlights from the game yesterday against the very tough Carolina Panthers.
From beginning to end, Marques kept the Saints in the game. The Saints' first first down came on a Marques Colston 14 yard reception. The Saints' final play from scrimmage was an 86 yard touchdown reception by Marques. His stats for the game were impressive. Let's choose another receiver in the NFL at random and compare their stats to his. Hmmm. How about this one. Mr. Terrell "Is Everyone Talking About Me Yet?" Owens.
Marques Colston: 5 receptions, 132 yards, 1 TD, long of 86 yards.
Terrell "There's a Whole Lot of ME in TEAM" Owens: 5 receptions, 88 yards, 0 TD, long of 46 yards.
Let's throw in one more. How about Mr. Randy "I Take Every Play Off These Days" Moss?
Randy "I Pout" Moss: 1 reception, 5 yards, 0 TD, long of 5 yards.
If you combined Moss and Owens, Marques Colston would still have more yards and TDs.
The Saints have a photo of Marques in action at the top of their story about yesterday's game. That's my man!
But was Marques playing with a broken hand???
