    Hes only been punting 5 years? Dude is a natural, his kicks at Iowa were nuts. I was actually happy we drafted a punter 😂

      @@kevinb6745 I hear you. I just wanna start winning games and not punting the ball all the time. When you punt the ball, it means you fail to score any points on that particular drive. Tired of being a defensive minded team. Score more points and win more games. I just think they should’ve spend that pick on an offensive lineman. I’ll still root for the kid though
