ANALYSIS
Two-step left-footed punter with very good touch-to-toe mechanics (1.22-second average) ...

Has good athletic skills, strength and speed for his position ... Good worker in the weight room ... Has above-average leg explosion and strength ... Drops the ball and strikes it with good force, showing consistency in his get-off ... Has good hands and will not come across his body on his attempts.
