I meant to start this thread after the Texas Bowl, this kid practically won the game for Texas who were outgained by Mizzo by over 100 yards.
He pinned them deep constantly on his way to the Ray Guy award.
Australian, with a background in Aussie rules football, those not familiar with that it is a violent sport with big collisions but most importantly rewards good long, accurate kicking to be successful.
Punters are people too and this guy is being talked about in the 3rd round, that's too rich for my blood but I'd be very interested in the 5th should he slide.
Huge leg, and great control.

I know, I wouldn't but it's been mentioned. This would be a good year to upgrade Pinion, last year of his rookie deal, and while he's ok he isn't great.

I would guess a team takes him in the 4th, I'd prefer a 5th, but he could be great.

Jaguars might take him in the 3rd.

Was he the MVP of a Bowl game?
I'm not a Pinion hater, I also don't feel like he's done enough to justify a decent 2nd contract.
I'm not desperate to replace him this year and otherwise wouldn't mind giving him this last year to earn one, but if this guy is available late I'd pull the trigger.

Ha! It's true, would be nice that on the odd occasion someone does manage to stop us that we pin them deep.
Hell no one stops the Pats and Belichick still made a point of getting a left footed punter to make the ball harder to catch for the returner!

Michael Dickson is the top punter prospect we've seen in four years of college football grading (via @PFF_Gordon)https://t.co/8rrv0ATT9X pic.twitter.com/G3aGgLAscD
