Former New Orleans Saints cornerback Delvin Breaux announced his retirement on Wednesday, following an 8-year career in pro football that included three seasons with his hometown Saints and five years in the Canadian Football League’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Breaux, 31, quickly became a fan-favorite in New Orleans owing to his background as a hotly-recruited high school prospect whose college career was taken from him in a serious neck injury. The Saints named him their Ed Block Courage Award winner in 2015, though his run with them ended with another frustrating injury.
But he overcame that adversity to chase opportunities in the CFL, where he went on to earn recognition as a three-time All-Star with a spot on the league’s first All-Decade Team. Breaux put together quite a career for himself north of the border, and he’s rightfully being celebrated for it.
