New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe had his best NFL performance in Week 5. Grupe was 2/2 on field goals, both from 50+ yards out. He was also 4/4 on extra points.
The Saints kicker received the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week award for his performance.
It was well deserved for the rookie boot. Grupe has absolutely proven that he belongs as a starting kicker in the NFL.
The Saints infamously chose Grupe over veteran kicker Wil Lutz entering this season. Lutz has done fairly well in Denver, but the Saints are certainly still happy with their decision.
They believe they have their kicker of the future. Hopefully for New Orleans, this honor is one of many for the Grupe.
