Mehlhaff was a sixth round selection by the New Orleans Saints in the 2008 NFL Draft. The Saints released Mehlhaff during final cuts after he lost out to Martin Gramatica for the team's placekicking job.
When Gramatica was placed on injured reserve on October 8, the Saints re-signed Mehlhaff. In three games with the Saints, Mehlhaff went 3-for-4 on field goals and 9-for-10 on extra points. He was released by the Saints on October 28, just two days after missing an extra point against the San Diego Chargers.
