Deonte Harris won every award imaginable for the New Orleans Saints last year. The rookie out of Assumption College earned the NFL punt return yards crown, a Pro Bowl trip, and recognition on the AP All-Pro first team. But when he missed Week 5’s game with the Los Angeles Chargers to a hamstring injury, the Saints were able to put another talented return man in his place.
And Marquez Callaway delivered. The Tennessee Volunteers product (Alvin Kamara affectionately called him, “my Vol brother,” after the game) made the most of his opportunity by returning 6 punts for 69 yards; he lost another 33 punt return yards to penalties.
