The New Orleans Saints have had plenty of punting woes over the past couple of seasons. Those did not occur very often from 2009-2020. That's because Thomas Morstead was their boot on fourth down, and he was extremely consistent.
That's how Morstead became a Saints fan favorite. Even in an era where New Orleans did not punt often, Morstead became a key piece to the Saints' success. Now, he is with the New York Jets.
On Tuesday, Morstead made it clear that he'd like to go to the Pro Bowl this season. His last appearance was as a Saint eleven years ago.
Morstead is having an awesome season for the Jets, too. It would be deserved.

The veteran boot has proven that he still has it, and the Saints probably regret letting him walk a couple years ago.
