Thomas Morstead is one of the best punters in the league, but he's so much more than that.
Way back in 2009, the Saints drafted a punter out of SMU with the 164th pick in the 5th Round. The 6-foot-4, 235 pound native of Houston, Texas had no idea that he was about to play for the future Super Bowl Champions.
Thomas Morstead’s legend began on the greatest of stages. In Super Bowl XLIV, the Saints offense got off to a slow start. Trailing Peyton Manning’s Colts 10-6, the Saints’ place kicker Garrett Hartley had boomed two 40 plus yard field goals to keep the game close going into halftime.
