Saints' Marshon Lattimore looks forward to gauntlet of top NFL receivers

Marshon Lattimore knows the attention is going to be on him and Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans come Sunday's kickoff.

The two were are the center of a brief scuffle in Week 9 of the 2017 season after Evans hit Lattimore with a cheap shot near the Buccaneers sideline.

But Lattimore didn't want to talk about he and Evans. He's just ready to start the season.

"I'm looking forward to playing," Lattimore said. "I'm just looking forward to the first game."

When the Saints host the Buccaneers Sunday at noon in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Lattimore won't be focused on his individual matchup but rather trying to achieve his goal of being better than he was last year.
