There are 70 days left until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2024 regular season, which means Deonte Harty’s 70-yard touchdown catch against the Dallas Cowboys is our Saints Play of the Day.
Harty did it the hard way. Taysom Hill hit him on a quick pass under the Cowboys coverage and Harty took off after the catch, eluding a couple of defenders before building speed in the open field. He cut through the Dallas secondary to cross the field and score a much-needed touchdown in prime time.
It’s a shame he and the Saints didn’t recapture this success. Harty, who had previously used Harris as his last name and won All-Pro recognition with the Saints as a return man, struggled with a significant turf toe injury during the 2022 season and left to join the Buffalo Bills in free agency in 2023. He’s since signed with the Baltimore Ravens.
