Before he earned a Super Bowl ring and started a foundation, he had to survive middle school.
Thomas Morstead entered his 12th NFL season with the New Orleans Saints, distinguishing himself as one of the
league's top punters. In Super Bowl XLIV, he executed an onside kick that the Saints recovered and parlayed into
a touchdown to take a 13-10 lead. The Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts to win the Super Bowl.
In 2014, Thomas and his wife Lauren started 'What You Give Will Grow', a foundation committed to improving the lives of those in need, with a strong focus on children and cancer initiatives, in New Orleans and the Gulf South
communities.
'The Middle School Rules of Thomas Morstead' shares how Thomas learned about his cultural roots, handled
being bullied for his appearance, and dealt with the disappointment of not making the high school varsity
soccer team. Inspired by many, including his parents, Thomas pushes himself in every area of his life and boldly
chases his dreams.
