New Orleans Saints placekicker Blake Grupe's ability to beat the clock with a 31-yard game-winning field goal during his preseason debut Sunday might have tricked viewers into thinking he was a veteran.

Superdome security apparently did not make that mistake.

Grupe said on Twitter he was questioned both before and after the game by security. Some members of security apparently believed the undrafted rookie, listed at 5-foot-7 and 156 pounds, was a fan.

"Stay humble. Thankful. Great team win!" Grupe wrote.
