Saints punter Thomas Morstead earned recognition as the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 1, his fifth career honor and the most of any player in Saints history.
Morstead was called on to punt six times against the Buccaneers and he dropped five of them inside the Tampa Bay 20-yard line.
Last season, Morstead was twice named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week, as well as NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for September.
For his part, Thomas is more focused on making sure attention is put on the “team” aspect of this award. He took time to praise his teammates and stress how important it is for each of them to work together
