About Blake Grupe
Blake Grupe is the Saints kicker who's been absolutely crushing it from long range since he joined New Orleans in 2023. This guy made six kicks from 50-plus yards in both his rookie season and 2024, which is pretty incredible when you consider no Saints kicker had ever made even five 50-yarders in a single season before him. He's got that college pedigree from Arkansas State and Notre Dame, and he's proven he can handle the pressure in the dome and on the road. His rookie cards are definitely worth grabbing while they're still affordable, especially any numbered parallels or autographed versions since reliable kickers with his range don't come around often.
In the Saints' kicking history, Grupe became one of a kind in 2023. And again in 2024. Both years, he made six kicks from 50-plus yards. Before that, no New Orleans kicker that made as many as five 50-yarders in a season. The former Arkansas State and Notre Dame kicker proved himself comfortable.

Dad’s Take on Blake Grupe
Look at this guy celebrating like he just won the Super Bowl when he's probably pumping his fist over a 32-yard chip shot. Sure, he can boot it from 50+ yards, but every kicker looks tough until they're shanking extra points in January with their little soccer cleats on. Kid's out there acting like he's throwing touchdown passes when he's basically the team's designated foot-poker!
