FILE - In this Aug. 24, 2019, file photo, New Orleans Saints' Deonte Harris (11) runs during the first half of a preseason NFL football game against the New York Jets, in East Rutherford, N.J. Saints rookie Deonte Harris wanted to believe his record-setting career as a return man at the Division II level of college football would translate in the NFL. It sure looked that way during the preseason, particularly on his 78-yard punt return touchdown against the New York Jets. Now the 5-foot-6, 170-pound Harris, who left college as NCAA’s all-time leader in combined kick and punt returns for touchdowns with 14, is set to make his NFL debut before a national TV audience against the Houston Texans on Monday night.
