New York Jets punter Thomas Morstead has enjoyed a very long NFL career to this point. The 2024 season will be his 15th in the league, a very impressive milestone to reach.
After spending his first 12 seasons with the New Orleans Saints, Morestead has bounced around the last few seasons. This is his second stint with the Jets, as he also punted for them for a portion of the 2021 season.
Morestead also has stops with the Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins. The 2023 campaign was one of the best in his career as he led the NFL in punts (99) and punt yardage (4,831) while averaging 48.8 yards per punt, the second-highest single-season mark of his career.
While he remains productive on the field, it is off the field where Morestead is making his most impactful contributions. It was recently announced that he has launched a Punt for ALS campaign to bring awareness to the terminal neurodegenerative disease.
