Long-time punter Kevin Huber remains unsigned by anyone, and the only player the Bengals have to replace him is Drue Chrisman, a second-year punter who went undrafted last year.
As fate had it, this year saw four punters get drafted. That’s only happened in three other years in the last 30 NFL Drafts. None of the four ended up in Cincinnati, but that almost wasn’t the case according to NBC Sports’ Peter King.
