New Orleans Saints rookie defensive back Justin Hardee has won Week 9’s NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Hardee helped the Saints get their first touchdown of the day en route to a 30-10 NFC South victory, courtesy of a blocked punt.
"I just wanted to show everybody that they missed out on me," Hardee said to reporters after the game. "I didn't get drafted. Obviously nobody believed I was good enough to get drafted. ... I'm just glad for the opportunity.
