How’s this for paying it forward? Former New Orleans Saints left tackle Terron Armstead was a guest at the 2023 NFL draft on Friday night, having been tabbed to announce the second-round pick for his new Miami Dolphins team.
It’s a situation he’s familiar with. Armstead took a moment before reading the card to salute the New Orleans legend who did the same for him a decade ago: Steve Gleason.
“I want to give a shoutout to the legend, Steve Gleason. Mr. No White Flags himself,” Armstead said, “Ten years ago Steve announced my pick in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft, and I just want to let him know I am forever grateful, and I appreciate him. Me and my family will never forget that moment.”
Talk about a classy gesture. Armstead and Gleason both became fan-favorites in New Orleans, and they’re forever tied together with that small (but significant) intersection in their lives, no matter where time and life takes them.
