There aren’t many players on the New Orleans Saints roster with more respect on their name than Thomas Morstead. The experienced punter is entering his twelfth NFL season, having spent every year of his lengthy career in New Orleans. He’s one of a few who won a Super Bowl ring back in 2009 to still compete in the NFL, along with teammates Drew Brees and Malcolm Jenkins.
So Morstead has a good sense of the Saints locker room, to say the least. He addressed some recent turmoil during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show. Teed up by Eisen to reflect on Brees’ conversation with his teammates after a very public disagreement over the quarterback’s stance on peaceful protests during the national anthem, Morstead now thinks the Saints are a tighter-knit group than ever before.
