“I never kicked off in high school or college,” Morstead said with a grin. “I would work on it in camps and stuff, but I didn’t feel like I was athletic enough to be able to do it.
“I was able to kick a field goal a mile,” he added, “but when I’d kick off, I didn’t get any extra distance. Most guys should be able to do that.”
“As far as kickoffs go, I’ve got all my boys back in college saying, ‘Who is this?’” he said with a laugh. “John (Carney) has really been unbelievable as far as helping me out. I didn’t have a lot of formal coaching and he’s really helped me clean some things up.”
“I don’t think we ever thought he’d be our kickoff guy, but he’s proven to be very good at that,” said Brees, who jokingly added that they’re going to have to keep Morstead humble.
“Make sure you keep him down to earth, don’t let him get too far ahead of himself,” he said. “Make sure he doesn’t go off for the bye week and see all his old friends and they tell him how great he is and he comes back and you’ve got to knock him back down to size.”
