Last season with Arizona, Deguara appeared in 12 games, making two starts. He caught three of his five targets for 21 yards and a touchdown, averaging seven yards per reception.

Over six NFL seasons, Deguara has appeared in 77 career games, recording 53 receptions for 471 yards and three touchdowns while averaging 8.9 yards per catch.
