Item Description
This is an official NFL team white Wilson football used for autographing. It has the NFL logo as well as the name National Football League in gold. It has the personal autograph by Thomas Morstead, the famous Sainits Pro-Bowl punter, using his full name and his inscription of "WHO DAT!".
Morstead beat out Glenn Pakulak for the Saints' punting job in 2009. He played a critical role in the Saints' victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. Morstead executed an onside kick during the second half kickoff. The Saints recovered the ball and were able to convert that possession into a touchdown and a 13-10 lead. The Saints would eventually win the game 31-17. After the game, Morstead stated that while he was excited about executing the play, he was also terrified knowing that if the play was not executed perfectly, the Colts would have likely recovered the ball with a shot of extending their 10-6 lead. He currently holds the record for most touchbacks in one game (9 in a 62-7 defeat of Indianapolis on October 23, 2011) and the record for the most touchbacks in a single season (68 in 2011).
In July 2012 the Saints signed Morstead to a six-year extension stated to be worth $21.9 million, making him the second highest paid punter in the league (after Shane Lechler of Oakland). He went on to have an outstanding season, leading the league (with a record-setting pace through 15 games) in net punting yardage, and was elected to the Pro Bowl.
Before the 2014 season, Morstead was selected as the Saints' special teams captain.Morestead's contract was renewed in 2018.
