Earliest you'd get a punter?

The last punt I saw him boot was three years ago. The Jets took a look at him and elected to go elsewhere.

I doubt he forgot how to punt. You don't average over 50 yards per and just forget in a season. Plus he can be a reserve kicker. That's kinda handy.

As for punters, The Athletic reported on it last year before the draft. To quote it, from 1997-2022 only 51 punters were drafted, and of the 36 players that punted in 2022 only 18 were drafted.

Using a draft pick on a punter might be the dumbest use of draft capital on the planet. My 2 cents.

51 punters is like a couple a year, isn't it? And if 18 were drafted, that does mean half the league.

It's not some blue moon event.

Your opinion at the end of your post is fair, I just personally disagree.
