- Morgan's mother, Monique Jason, told NOLA.com back before the 2019 NFL Draft that Morgan thought he wanted to be an NFL player when his rec league had the opportunity to take the field at halftime during a game between two of his future teams, the Cincinnati Bengals and the New Orleans Saints, in 2006. "After the halftime show, he came up to me and said, 'Mom, I think this is what I want to do for my life. I like the crowd, I like the fans, and I like the lights,'" Jason said.

- Morgan went undrafted in 2019 but would sign on with the Bengals where he'd play from 2019-2023.
