Former New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister sent out a tweet on Monday confirming that he will step in as a color analyst in place of Hokie Gajan, who is battling cancer, for the rest of the season.
McAlister will partner with play-by-play man Jim Henderson on the airwaves of WWL for the Saints’ final four regular season games. Deuce played for the Saints from 2001-08.
Gajan, who’s 56 years old and a former LSU and Saints player, made his cancer diagnosis public in November.
