Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate could fly under the radar for most New Orleans Saints fans, and not for what he does on the football field.
The Saints, however, are fully aware of Brate because he spent a week on the Saints practice squad in 2015.
Entering Saturday's game, the Saints now prepare to face a player whose 56 receptions for 648 yards and seven touchdowns rank second in Tampa Bay behind wide receiver Mike Evans.
"I wish he never got out of our building," Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen said of Brate with a chuckle.
