Big, massive booming leg that has allowed him to crush monstrous punts, hit 50+ yard field goals and continually put San Diego State opponents in a bad position out on the field. He's had an absolutely unreal season for a punter, having broken several records already while also handling kicker duties.





He's a really good player. He will make an excellent special teams player for somebody. He's getting some deserved recognition.

#1 pick in the draft!

I'm just thinking, we DID just get a couple extra 3rd round pics for Mike Mcdaniel - I would not be mad about using one to draft this kid. Beyond unreal as a punter, capable of completely flipping field position from ANYWHERE! He would handle kickoffs too, and a guaranteed touchback nearly every time. Plus he could fill in for some kick attempts in a pinch if needed, if something were to happen to Robbie again.

And he's made some special teams tackles, without getting a concussion....

Imagine all the trick plays we can do when punting. No gunners needed.

What these punters need to specialize is a drop kick. That way, if we are at the 50 and have a punter that can drop kick, then we get three points.

Im surprised someone out there isn't trying to be a drop kick specialist.

We did it once and we could do it again.

We should consider dual punters. Catch them off guard

I'm buying.

Likely a third rounder at worst. Hard not to think of the dual threat possibilities, but the wear on the leg over a 17 game season would be tough. If NFL still had just 14 games, a guy like this could save you a roster spot lol.

I've always wondered about this. I mean what's the difference in the wear and tear on a leg compared to the wear and tear on a QBs arm slinging it 30+ times a game? Same thing with the long snapper, why not make the Center or backup Center do it to save a roster spot?

it's rare that you see a Center who can zip a 15 yard to the punter.. this is what is rare about them long snapper.. but I do agree that if we can find a Center to do it, to save some spot, why not..

Not sure if you're joking or not, but drop kicking is really hard even with a rugby ball which is much more rounded at the bottom for a more even bounce, and has a much bigger sweet spot.

No one could regularly make drop kicks with an NFL football from more than 20 yards.
