Deuce McAllister will wear his saints jersey and lead the Saints in to the playoffs.
McAllister extended his contract with Saints on Friday and this popular all-time rusher also was maken an honorary captain according to coach Sean Payton. The saints intended to make McAllister an unofficial guest captain a couple weeks ago, so when reserve defensive tackle Rodney Leisle got a knee injury and sat out the practice, they decided to make McAllister an official part of the team. Payton said they felt like it was appropriate for the divisional game and he was so well respected by the players.
McAllister is 31 years old and he has rushed for 6,096 career yards. He also makes the record of the club as 55 total touchdowns and 49 rushing TDs.
