Get to know the Saints new punter, Lou Hedley

The New Orleans Saints pulled off a shocker this week by favoring two rookies in the kicking and punting battles. After losing Thomas Morstead a couple of years ago, the Saints thought they found their next long-term option at the position in Blake Gillikin. In two seasons, he averaged 43.1-yards per punt with 61 punts inside of the 20-yard line. Despite ranking 15th in net yards and 4th in punts inside the 20 last season, the Saints decided to move on.

Insert Lou Hedley, a 30-year-old rookie punter from Australia who spent his last four seasons as a member of the Miami Hurricanes.
