New Orleans Saints starting free safety Darren Sharper has been named the NFC’s Defensive Player of the Month for October. Sharper, 6-2, 210 pounds, is in his first season with the Saints after signing as an unrestricted free agent with the Saints in March. The William & Mary product, in just three games in the month of October, racked up 17 tackles, intercepted three passes, two that he returned for touchdowns, and added a half a sack, his first interception against the Jets, which he returned a club-record 99 yards, thwarted an early Jets scoring drive and on Sunday at Miami, his 42-yard interception for a score sparked the Saints’ early in the second half in their historic comeback bid en route to a 45-34 victory.

I know. But the game is over. Oh well. But Sharper is still a monster playing in the secondary. I hope he breaks the INT=TD record. He deserves it.
