Thomas Morstead named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week in first game with Falcons

Thomas Morstead joined the Atlanta Falcons just last week, but he’s already collecting honors for his work for his new team. It must make Saints fans sick to see it, how terrible for them.

Morstead was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts against the Jaguars, where he placed punts inside the Jacksonville 15 yard line four times on five punts, including a 55 yarder. The former Jet and Saint was signed with Dustin Colquitt on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and his strong effort probably will have him sticking around in Atlanta over the long haul.
