The former Saints star WR is among the group that's been chosen to announce selections on Day 2 of the draft (Rounds 2 and 3), held this year in Pittbsurgh. Colston is one of 10 presenters from the state of Pennsylvania who will be announcing picks. In 2025 the Saints picks were announced by now-retired OT Ryan Ramczyk.
Former Saints RB Mark Ingram, a teammate of Colston's, will also be announcing picks, but he'll be doing so for the Baltimore Ravens.
Colston was a 7th round pick of the Saints out of Hostra in 2006 and went on to star alongside Drew Brees for the better part of a decade. Colston earned All-Rookie honors and went on to make 711 catches for 9,579 yards and 72 receiving touchdowns, all franchise records.
The Saints have a lot of routes they could potentially take in the 2026 draft. They currently hold eight picks, including No. 8 and No. 42 overall. One of the positions the Saints are expected to address early in the draft is wide receiver. The 2026 draft begins on Thursday, April 22, with the second and third rounds the following day.
