Acrobatic catches show New Orleans Saints' Joe Morgan of old still exists

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Joe Morgan cracked a boyish smile when asked about adding another acrobatic catch to his résumé during Friday night's preseason game against the Titans.

The 52-yard strike from Ryan Griffin wasn't quite as nice as Morgan's 48-yard touchdown reception two seasons ago at Tampa Bay when Morgan launched a defender off his back after the bomb from Drew Brees to score.

But Morgan's two deep catches against Tennessee might have meant more to him -- and the Saints' coaches -- than any of his previous highlights.

"It felt good to be able to go out there and show flashes of the old ability that I still have and actually be able to put it out there on film so everybody can see it," Morgan said Monday. "It was a major accomplishment."

I have to admit, I get sweaty palms just thinking about a HEALTHY morgan, cooks, graham and stills/colston all being on the field at the same time.

Joe Morgan has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING as a Saint! His production is below most #5 WR's on team rosters. Call me when he actually earns a roster spot.
