Kickin’ It Old School: Andy Lee is Awesome!
34-year-old punter Andy Lee has been a Carolina Panther for all of two games, and it is safe to say without hyperbole that he has already proven to be a million times better than Ray Guy and Reggie Roby combined.
Lee has launched seven punts in two weeks and his 53.6 yards per punt leads the NFL, per ESPN.
He also has the league’s longest punt with the 76-yarder be blasted in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos.
Of the seven punts Lee has attempted, three landed inside the 20, two were touchbacks, and two were fair caught. Only two of Lee’s punts have been returned, yielding 26 return yards.
Some things, like elite punters and beef jerky, only get better with age.
