There were mixed reactions when news broke that the Panthers spent a 4th round pick to trade for one of the league’s best and longest tenured punters, but Andy Lee assuaged some of those worries on Thursday night.
Andy Lee got more work holding field goals for Graham Gano then he did soaring punts up into the air during the Carolina Panthers preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but in those few moments he showed why he was worth trading for. He recorded two fair catches at the 10 and 7, providing incredible hangtime and letting the entire coverage unit swarm around the ball.
