New York Jets punter Thomas Morstead already is beloved by his team’s fans for his distinguished feats in the 2023 season. What he said in response to ex-teammate Mecole Hardman, however, likely will make Gang Green supporters appreciate him even more.
After Hardman spoke ill of the Jets in a recent appearance on ESPN personality Ryan Clark’s The Pivot podcast, Morstead stepped up on social media to defend his team.
Morstead implied that Hardman’s harsh criticism of the Jets may have stemmed from bitterness over the fact that the wideout lost the Jets’ punt returning job to undrafted rookie Xavier Gipson.
