Praise grows for Saints' Delvin Breaux, who says he's 'pretty good' but not 'elite'

Hours after the New Orleans Saints beat the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night, rookie cornerback Delvin Breaux was re-watching the game on his couch, his dog Diesel sleeping beside him.

It was 1:55 a.m., which we know because that was the time-stamp for his tweet proclaiming, "I really love this sport."

Breaux will turn 26 next Sunday on the same day the Saints (2-4) try to extend the momentum from Thursday's win at Lucas Oil Stadium against the Indianapolis Colts. His incredible path to the NFL and his sheer joy at playing every week have made the New Orleans native a fan favorite.
