02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Special teams schemes prioritizing field position and high hang-time punts, akin to those seen in traditional NFL defenses focused on long field control.
Directional punterHigh-hangtime punterPoise under pressure
Best role
Immediate starting punter who can consistently pin opponents deep, with the ceiling to be a long-term field position weapon.
Wrong fit
Spread offense that prioritizes touchbacks for offensive drives over strategic field positioning and coffin corners.
A powerful leg and consistent hang time make him a valuable asset in schemes that demand precise field position and limiting return opportunities.
