The New Orleans Saints are victorious over the Indianapolis Colts in their first ever Super Bowl appearance 31-17. Jeremy Shockey was a big part of the New Orleans Saints’ sweetest victory. In 2008 Jeremy Shockey was with the New York Giants when they defeated the New England Patriots but he watched the game from the suite above the field with a broken left leg. That essentially set up his trade to New Orleans. There are a lot of people out there that think negative thoughts about Shockey, but now he feels redeemed as a player.

Jeremy Shockey came to the NFL from the Miami Hurricanes, where he blossomed into a star. As a rookie with the New York Giants in 2002 he caught 74 passes for 894 yards. Each of those numbers still represents career highs. He may have only had three catches for 13 yards in the title game, but I say that Shockey did so much more than that on the way to this championship. The Saints were thought of by some as a finesse team until Shockey came along, with his rough-and-tumble ways. Now you have a very good reason to wear your New Orleans Saints jerseys and I will be wearing mine during the summer to support them well into the next season.
