49ers P Mitch Wishnowsky has dropped 26.1% of his punts inside the opponent's 10-yard line this year. That's second-best in the NFL. And 52.2% of his punts inside the 20, which is best in NFL by ~4%.


For a 4th rounder he better be. Lol jk, there's people still crying about him being a 4th rounder pick.

Nice!!!! Mitch has turned into a pro bowl punter. A lot of us wanted Chauncey Gardner but getting a pro bowl punter with a 4th round pick isn't such a bad pick at all. I'm glad to eat some crow on this one

I cried about a punter being a 4th round pick. But when Wish punts like those stats show, that justifies selecting a punter in the 4th round. Stud.

Mitch is no small part of our defensive success. He's flipped so many fields and pinned so many teams

When did Mitch make the pro bowl?

So do you guys think the turnaround was getting rid of Hightower?

Possibly, feels like having him stop doing kickoffs has helped too.

Punting is a craft. He has always had talent but has developed his game. Andy Lee was ok his first few years then became a stud for us.

This seems like the answer. His leg isn't the strongest, which is apparent on his kickoffs.
He's having a good season, but would have to have been at least a perennial pro bowler since year one to be worth a 4th.

Wait. What? You mean he didn't go on to help the highly touted Bears ST squad flip the field and contribute to the win/loss column before being one of the first teams eliminated? And no fakes? Very surprised.

As an avid Utah fan I've been so high on this kid since we drafted him. This thread has been quite a downer for me since it's inception just because of where we selected Mitch. Punters should really never be drafted that high, but he isn't in control of where he gets selected. But after 200 pages of I'm pleased to see people finally warming up to him.

That's great but how much is that due a good Niners offense punting from better field position? He's near the bottom for Average and even worse for net Average.

Do you even think about what you're posting?

you want us to fail early on drives so he can fulfill your punting net needs… ridiculous
