Dirk Koetter: Former Saints CB De'Vante Harris taking advantage of 'fresh start' with Bucs

Cornerback De'Vante Harris spent the past two seasons with the New Orleans Saints, but on Sunday, he'll visit the Mercedes-Benz Superdome as an opponent.

The Saints cut Harris on Aug. 11 following a rough performance in the preseason opener, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed him off waivers.

Harris then went on to impress the Buccaneers enough to earn a spot on the 53-man roster, so the 25-year-old will have a chance to see his former teammates when Tampa Bay comes to play the Saints.

"When he came in here, he just did a good job of competing every day," Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said on a teleconference Wednesday.
