Saints' Roman Harper 'all in' as substitute high school teacher for day

BELLE CHASSE, La. -- NFL players often make school visits on their off-days. But New Orleans Saints safety Roman Harper took it to a whole other level on Wednesday, spending the entire day as a substitute teacher at Belle Chasse High School.

Harper did it all -- math class, English, sociology, psychology ... before he bought 300 pizzas for the school and shared his life story for everyone in the auditorium. The Saints put together a brief montage of his day in the classroom.

Harper’s wife, Heather, said he was so excited that he was dressed and ready by 6:20 a.
