It was a good Sunday for former Coyotes in the NFL.
Myles Harden had one of the best days of his career, as the Browns cornerback notched his first career interception (and returned it 25 yards) while making five tackles as Cleveland knocked off Tampa Bay. Harden made 48 tackles in 16 games last year (starting five) and is off to a strong start this season, starting both games so far for Cleveland.
Meanwhile former Coyote Jack Cochrane, who’s carved out a nice career as a special teams ace with the Chiefs got some extended playing time on defense for Kansas City in their Sunday night win over the Colts. He made two tackles, and now has 65 tackles in 66 career games in his five seasons with the Chiefs.
And Mike Reid, another former Coyote defensive back, was once again on the active roster for the Saints, seeing the field for 15 plays on special teams.
Here’s how all of South Dakota’s pros did in Week 2:
