Former New Orleans Saints cornerback Delvin Breaux announced his retirement on Wednesday, following an 8-year career in pro football that included three seasons with his hometown Saints and five years in the Canadian Football League’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Breaux, 31, quickly became a fan-favorite in New Orleans owing to his background as a hotly-recruited high school prospect whose college career was taken from him in a serious neck injury.
