JACKSON, MISS. – Deuce McAllister hung up his cleats six months ago.
The former Ole Miss and New Orleans Saints star now begins Phase II – or Phase Deuce – of his life.
But before he embarked on the great unknown, McAllister enjoyed a night of reflection on Friday, when friends, family and colleagues feted him at a retirement dinner at the Jackson (Miss.) Convention Center.
“Celebrating a Saint” was a wonderful evening, with several heartwarming testimonials to McAllister and his standout career at Morton High School, Ole Miss and the Saints.
