Saints medical team diagnoses Foster Moreau with Hodgkin lymphoma

Former LSU and Jesuit tight end Foster Moreau is stepping away from his NFL career after recently learning he has Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

The free agent shared the news via Twitter that he received the diagnosis several days ago while visiting with the Saints about potentially signing with his hometown team.

Through somewhat of a miraculous process, this Free Agency period has been life changing for me. During a routine physical conducted by the Saint’s medical team down in New Orleans, I’ve come to learn that I have Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and will be stepping away from football (1/3)

That being said, I’ll go kick this thing’s ass and get back to doing what I love! AMDG!
