Colston is a slot guy now, but earlier in his career and when they won the Super Bowl, he was playing on the outside quite a bit, and quite often alone on one side of the field with Henderson and Meachem on the other side. It was in his first training camp that the Saints decided to trade old friend, Donte Stallworth to make room for Colston. (Stallworth then played one year in Philly before coming here). Joe Horn basically lasted one more season, and then Colston became the undisputed #1. That team also had Shockey in the middle of the field. He was listed at like 6-5, 225 lb's coming out of college, and ran a 40 in the 4.5 range. Yeah, he played at Hofstra, but just 10 years later, a kid with those kinds of numbers would never fall to the 7th round, barring some sort of character issues. Even in 2006, I'm surprised a team didn't take a shot on him much earlier than the Saints did. He was damn close to being an undrafted free agent, and went on to own basically every single Saints receiving record. One of the most underrated receivers in the NFL in the past two decades, IMO, and one of the biggest late round steals in draft history.
