As NFL training camps get started, this is the time of the year when you get a look at the players on the respective teams who can elevate their games to help their team win.

Harris quickly developed into one of the elite return specialists in the NFL as a rookie last season.
But Saints coach Sean Payton has not hidden the fact that he wants Harris to touch the ball more as a wide receiver and as a rusher.
