Scouting Report
A brawny specimen, he boasts the leg strength and confidence to perform in adverse weather conditions. Is capable of seeding clouds with sheer launch height and hang time; he is proficient at inducing fair catches, pinning opponents and limiting returns. Made necessary adjustments after experiencing some blocked punts early in his NFL career. Has steadily reduced his touchback rate and accelerated his motion over time. Is calm in the face of pressure and possesses the ideal demeanor to deliver in the clutch.
Long Range Potential: Top echelon, clutch punter.
