Loved ones will gather Tuesday to remember the life and legacy of a former New Orleans Saints.
Victor Riley, who played with the Saints for three seasons, died April 8 at the age of 49.
According to his wife, he died in his sleep.
Riley's funeral will be held Tuesday at Rhodes Funeral Home on Washington Avenue. Visitation starts at 8 a.m. and his funeral will follow.
The Saints said in an issued news release that Riley was drafted in the first round of the 1998 draft by the Kansas City Chiefs.
He played for the Chiefs for four seasons before signing with the Saints.
According to the Saints, Riley took over starting duties for the Saints in 2003, where he helped plow the road for running back Deuce McAllister, who finished the year with a career-high 1,641 yards and eight touchdowns, earning his second Pro Bowl selection. The Saints offense would record 5,438 net yards that season, the then-second-highest total in club history.
