Story detailing Marquez Callaway making the final cut for the NFL’s New Orleans Saints

NEW ORLEANS — Former University of Tennessee football player Marquez Callaway has made the 53-man roster for the New Orleans Saints.

Callaway, a wide receiver and four-year letterman for the Volunteers, made the final roster cut Saturday.

During his time on Rocky Top, Callaway played for two head coaches, Butch Jones and Jeremy Pruitt.

He had 92 receptions and amassed 1,646 yards during his career with the Big Orange and scored 13 touchdowns.

With the Saints, he will join former Vols running back Alvin Kamara and defensive lineman Shy Tuttle.

Callaway looks to make an impact in one of the NFL’s most potent and versatile offensive attacks, which features Kamara, a three-time Pro Bowler and 2018 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, and future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees.
