I’m honored to announce that I’m dedicating this season to my dear friend, Steve Gleason, and his unwavering commitment to helping as many people living with ALS as possible. I’ll be donating $1,000 for every punt I land inside the 20-yard line. I’m grateful to be shining light

Jets punter Thomas Morstead will donate $1,000 to Team Gleason for every punt he makes inside the 20-yard line this season and he joined Mike Greenberg to discuss the cause 👏 Donate to the fight against ALS: teamgleason.org/puntforals
