Excellent

Dude was good at PSU. Glad to see he’s caught on somewhere.

How does one evaluate a punter, or decide who wins in a punting battle? I never really understood. It’s not like there are dozens of data points to consider…no 40 time, benchpress, vertical, etc. You’re basically basing your decision on 1) Who can punt the highest 2) Who can punt the ball the farthest 3) Who can stick it inside the 20

And I gotta think that a lot of guys can fill a lot of those criteria, especially at the NFL level. How much variance could there be between Punter A’s and Punter B’s performance? So what tips the scales in the decision process?

These are great questions

Aren’t there any ex-punters in the BSD family who can weigh in intelligently (or at least humorously) on these?

Steelers could use him

Now that's funny...

I had a roommate a few years back who was a big Stellars fan. He said he was going to get a Josh Miller jersey, since he was basically the team’s MVP that year.
