New Orleans Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis announced today that the club has signed wide receiver Marquez Callaway and waived/injured tight end Tommy Hudson.

Callaway, 6-2, 204, was originally signed by the Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2020 out of Tennessee and in 45 regular season games with 17 starts for New Orleans (2020-23), he has recorded career totals of 83 receptions for 1,069 yards with seven touchdowns, returned 14 punts for 149 yards (10.6 avg.) and returned four kickoffs for 94 yards (23.5 avg.).

Callaway earned a roster spot as a rookie in 2020 and caught 21 passes for 213 yards, returned 11 punts for 122 yards (11.1 avg.) and returned four kickoffs for 94 yards in 11 games with three starts. In 2021, he led New Orleans in receiving yards and touchdown grabs, when he posted 46 receptions for 698 yards (15.2 avg.) with six touchdowns. After four seasons with New Orleans, the Warner Robins, Ga. native spent the offseason with the Pittsburgh Steelers before re-joining the club.

Callaway finished his college career as one of the Volunteers' most prolific punt returners of all-time and as a productive pass-catcher with 92 receptions for 1,646 yards and 13 touchdowns. He departed Knoxville with a 13.6 punt return average ranked fourth in school history and his three punt return touchdowns rank second all-time. As a senior in 2019, he collected All-SEC second-team return specialist honors after totaling 154 yards and a 65-yard touchdown on 11 punt returns (14.0 avg.), while catching 30 passes for 635 yards and six scores.
