Morstead was signed by the Jets on Tuesday.
Scouting Report
Big and very athletic for his position. He can really boom the ball on punts and excels in getting great hang time. Can also chip in as a long-distance place-kicker. Still has some work to do on his fundamentals. Not always as focused as he should be. Needs to improve at working the sidelines more and pin it inside the 20.
Long Range Potential: Decent punter.
