He played college football at Illinois and Walsh and was signed by the Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2011.

[1] Little known at the beginning of training camp, he became a focus of attention after he scored touchdowns in consecutive preseason games,[2][3][4] and was considered a strong candidate to make the regular season roster until he suffered a knee injury.

[7] In the Saints' sixth game at Tampa Bay, he made another spectacular scoring play: after catching a long pass from Brees inside the 10 yard line, he evaded Mark Barron's tackle and managed to stay off the ground, regained his balance and flipped Eric Wright over his head as he stood up, and finally dashed into the end zone before taking a hard hit from Cody Grimm to score what a USA Today writer called "one of the great scoring efforts of the season".

[15] Morgan signed with the Baltimore Ravens on November 4 after placing wide receiver Steve Smith, Sr. on season ending injured reserve.

[17] On October 5, 2016, Morgan signed a practice roster agreement with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.
