After being selected by the organization in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft, Morstead spent the first 12 seasons of his career with the Saints. Morstead helped New Orleans capture a Super Bowl title during his rookie year and was named a Pro Bowler and Second-Team All-Pro in 2012.

During his lone Pro Bowl season, the Pearland, Texas, native led the league with a career-high 50.1 yards per punt. Morstead is tied for eighth all-time in career yards per punt at 46.6.

The 36-year-old was cut by the Saints in March 2021 and split last season between the Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets.
