Saints legend Marques Colston takes adjunct professor position at UNO

Marques Colston has been hired as an adjunct professor at the University of New Orleans. The Saints Hall of Famer made the announcement Tuesday night on Twitter.

Five years ago when I retired from football I wouldn’t have guessed I’d find a passion in teaching and education. Yet, here we are.

I’m excited to start as an adjunct professor at @UofNO this fall.

It’ll be an interesting semester, but I’m ready to attack the new challenge.

The Hofstra alum served as UNO’s Commencement speaker thus past December for the school’s fall semester graduation.
