The hits just keep coming. NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill first reported that All-Pro Saints return specialist Deonte Harris was arrested earlier in July for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol. The Athletic’s Larry Holder and ESPN’s Mike Triplett confirmed this, citing Maryland court records that clocked him driving 77 miles per hour in a 55-miles per hour zone overnight on July 16. The case remains open.
It’s a tough blow. Harris was expected to take on a bigger role with the New Orleans offense this year even before news of Michael Thomas’ prolonged absence came to light.
