“Twelve incredible years in the NFL. The pillar wherever he went,” started Brees. “I will never forget the day he presented himself in our changing rooms in 2013, he did not start this year as a starter, but he became very clear that this guy was not only going to be a starting left tackle for us for a very long time, but that he was going to be a leader throughout the league. Towards changing rooms and with his teams for a long time.”
The Armstead teammates elected him captain with the saints each year from 2018 to 2021; When he left to join the Dolphins in 2022, he continued to carry the captain’s patch for the last three years of his career. This speaks volumes about the respect he won around the League for two different changing rooms to rally around him. His leadership by example and perseverance to continue playing through multiple career threatening injuries stood out, and Brees said that the presence of Armstead helped guys like him. He had a lot to say about how Armstead became a rallying point when things became difficult.
“This is how I define (leadership). The leaders improve those around them. They bring out the best qualities, the best features. They breathe confidence. They make you feel that you can do something that you may not think. About the guys who invested so invested, who sacrificed so much, who put it online after day?” And that Holy New Orleans. “
Armstead was an essential element in the success of the saints of the day he entered the starting program for the last SNAP he recorded with New Orleans. He started 93 of the 97 regular season games in which he appeared and continued to take a seasonal point, starting the 9 eliminatory games of his saints. He continued to open the way to dolphins, from 38 regular season games with a pair of playoffs. And now his work on Sunday becomes easier.
